Senbo & ITD awarded Kolkata Metro Barasat Line’s Underground Work

KOLKATA (Metro Rail News): Senbo Engineering and ITD Cementation India last week emerged as the lowest bidders for a 3.6 km underground extension of Kolkata Metro’s 6.87 km Line-4 from Kolkata Airport (Bimanbandar) to New Barrackpore.

This underground section of the 18.13 km Yellow Line will help in due course linking Noapara with the suburb of Barasat in north-east Kolkata. The construction for this line will be carried out using the Cut & Cover method which means no TBMs will be used. Its alignment will primarily run along with Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (NSCBI)’s land and includes 2 new stations at Birati and New Barrackpore.
