Line 3 of the Kolkata Metro, also known as the Joka-Esplanade Metro corridor, is a key component of the city's metro rail system expansion.

Once operational, Line 3 will provide commuters with a reliable, efficient, and comfortable means of travel, connecting key residential, commercial, and recreational areas across the city.

The D-wall construction for Victoria Station involves intricate engineering and meticulous planning to ensure structural integrity and safety standards. L&T's engineering teams are leveraging advanced technologies and innovative construction methods to optimise efficiency and minimise disruptions during the construction process.

The completion of Line 3's Victoria Station is expected to significantly improve connectivity and accessibility for residents and visitors in Kolkata, facilitating seamless travel experiences and reducing dependency on private vehicles. Additionally, the metro corridor's expansion is anticipated to spur economic development along its route and contribute to Kolkata's overall growth and prosperity.

In conclusion, L&T's commencement of construction work for Line 3 of the Kolkata Metro represents a major step forward in the city's efforts to enhance its urban transit infrastructure. The project underscores Kolkata's commitment to sustainable mobility and underscores the city's potential for continued growth and development in the years to come.
