Karanodai is a northern suburb of Chennai, India located 7 km north of Redhills on GNT Road connecting Chennai with Andhra Pradesh.The village is bounded on north side by Kosasthalaiyar River, also known as Kortalaiyar, which is one of the three rivers that flow in the Chennai metropolitan area. Surrounded by nearby villages like Authur, Sothuperumbedu, Sholavaram, Orakkadu, Nerkundram.

One of the oldest bridge in the chennai region which is on National Highway 5 connecting Chennai and Northern parts of India. Residents of Karanodai recalled the existing facility came up after the 125-year-old Karanodai bridge became dysfunctional fifteen years ago when its three spans were washed away by heavy flows in the river. A few two-wheelers continued to use it until the facility completely collapsed in December 2007.
