CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): The 15.5-kilometre airport-Kilambakkam Metro rail line has been approved for construction by the Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA).
With this, the project’s work will start soon. Intermodal connectivity would be available to commuters, allowing them to seamlessly transition between various means of transportation such as metro trains, MTC and outstation buses, and airports.
An estimated Rs 4,080 crore will be spent on the airport to Kilambakkam Metro train extension line.
It will connect several southern suburbs, notably the Kilambakkam under-construction bus terminus, with city core locations beyond Tambaram.
Localities in the southern suburbs, including Pallavaram, Chromepet, Tambaram, Irumbuliyur, Peerkankaranai, Perungalathur, Vandalur, and Kilambakkam, would be traversed by the extension line.
