Chennai Metro Construction Begins on Sholinganallur-Siruseri Stretch

Construction has officially begun on the Sholinganallur-Siruseri stretch of the Chennai Metro, marking a significant advancement in the city's public transportation infrastructure. This new metro line aims to improve connectivity in the rapidly developing southern suburbs of Chennai, providing residents with efficient and reliable transit options.

The Sholinganallur-Siruseri stretch is part of Chennai Metro Rail Limited?s (CMRL) Phase II expansion project, which focuses on extending the metro network to underserved areas. This 12-kilometre stretch will feature several new stations, enhancing accessibility and reducing travel times for daily commuters.

The commencement of construction is a welcome development for residents and local businesses, who anticipate improved transportation links and reduced traffic congestion. The new metro line is expected to serve IT hubs, educational institutions, and residential areas, fostering economic growth and urban development in the region.

CMRL has emphasised its commitment to maintaining high standards of safety and quality throughout the construction process. The project also incorporates sustainable practices, aiming to minimise environmental impact and promote eco-friendly urban development.

Once completed, the Sholinganallur-Siruseri metro line will integrate seamlessly with the existing metro network, offering a comprehensive and efficient transit system for Chennai's growing population. This expansion underscores the city's dedication to enhancing public transportation and supporting sustainable urban growth.

As work progresses, the Sholinganallur-Siruseri metro stretch is set to become a vital link in Chennai's transportation network, improving mobility and quality of life for thousands of residents.
