According to officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) the contract for the construction of a pedestrian bridge near the station has just been awarded. “It is estimated that the work will cost around R6 crore and will start soon.” But it can take between six and eight months for the job to end, “said one official.

The bridge will have escalators and elevators for the comfort of travelers. Every day, almost 2,000 people travel through this station, which was opened as part of the Koyambedu-Alandur stretch almost three years ago.

Although the Metro Rail of Chennai had planned the metro project in late 2016, there were no buyers. The tender was issued for the first time in November 2016, but the authorities were not happy with the response and again called for tender in early 2017, authorities said.

“We planned to complete the entire project in 2017, but we wanted more bidders to participate and, therefore, we decided to change the bidding for the second time,” said one source.

Travelers have complained again and again about how difficult and dangerous it is to cross the GST road during peak hours.

Although there is a subway, it is not very close to the station. Also, a traveler for the first time may not even know about the installation, a traveler said. Currently, only Koyambedu and Ashok Nagar metro stations have pedestrian bridges.

Center asks Delhi Govt to expedite approval for rapid rail transit corridor

New Delhi: Taking note of unnecessary delay, the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has asked the Delhi Government to expedite approval pertaining to the Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) corridor connecting Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut. The proposed corridor is also known as high speed rail corridor.

In a related development, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), which is executing the RRTS project, has allowed the Uttar Pradesh government to run Metro trains on the same high speed railway track within Meerut. This is the first time that Metro train and high speed rail will run on the same track. The high-speed rail will cover the distance from Meerut to New Delhi in around 30 minutes.

As per latest information, the pre-construction activities have been started and the construction work is expected to start from July. However, the Delhi government is yet to approve the detailed project report to this effect.

RRTS is different from Metro as it caters to passengers looking to travel relatively longer distances with fewer stops and at higher speed. RRTS is three times faster than Metro. Commuting from Delhi to Meerut and vice versa will be smoother with the Delhi government considering giving green signal to the first line of the RRTS corridor between Delhi and Meerut.

According to the minutes of the meeting accessed by this newspaper, the ministry has requested the Delhi government to provide the required approval expeditiously.

At the meeting with the National Capital Region Planning Board, the Delhi government has sought some clarification on the implications of goods and services tax and the change of alignment of the corridor.

The NCRTC is yet to give the fresh funding pattern as per GST. It has also made minor changes in the alignment of the corridor. Sources in the government said that the DPR report is likely to be placed before the Delhi Cabinet in the next 15 days.

“Once approval is obtained from the Delhi government, the DPR would be submitted to the ministry of HUA for further approval,” the sources added.

It is learnt that the UP government has appointed several committees to shift and relocate the utility services.

The total length of the corridor is 90.2 kms. There would be 17 stations. Of these, two will be in Delhi and the rest in UP. It is a new, dedicated, high speed, high capacity, comfortable commuter service connecting regional nodes in NCR.

Notably, the RRTS provides reliable, high frequency, point-to-point regi-onal travel at high speed along dedicated pathway.
