Anna Flyover, also known as Gemini Flyover, is a dual-armed grade separator in the central business district of Chennai, India. Built in 1973, it is the first flyover in Chennai[1][2] and the third in India. It was the longest flyover in the country at its completion.[3] It allows traffic movements on Anna Salai (formerly Mount Road) to cross traffic with grade separation. The area and the flyover is named after the now-demolished Gemini Studios.
