Construction of upper slab in Kolkata's Airport Metro station completed

30 Jun 2021 CW Team

The construction of the upper slab of Kolkata's Airport Metro station has been completed. Previously, the roof casting work was completed during the lockdown.

For the last few months, the construction work of the metro line from Noapara to the airport has been going on in full swing. The underground airport metro station roofing was completed during Durga Puja last year.

The topmost slab construction began last December. It was completed by using 20 transit mixer machines and 1400 cu m of concrete after the lockdown ended. The one-foot-thick, 40 m long, and 36 m wide roof was built in around 25 hours only. As claimed by metro officials, the construction of the concrete roof was a tremendous technical challenge.

The construction of the Noapara-airport metro route has come a long way. Before 2016, local trains running from Dumdum Cantonment to the airport used to run on this route. After this route was made dysfunctional, the unused portions are being done away with for Metro work.

Along with this, construction work of the subway from the airport station to Jessore Road has also begun. Construction of a metro route from Noapara to Dakshineswar will be started this year. While the Noapara-airport metro services will be kicking off as soon as the construction work is done.
