Namma Metro UG-1 getting delayed??

7 January 2011 - 2:42pm — vinpraja

Is Namma Metro UG-1 between Swastik to K.R.Road getting delayed? I tend to feel so as BMRCL is yet to award contract (in bmrc.co.in no info is given). Do note Ug-1 is crucial to Reach 4 as reach 4 lacks depot as well as full completion of Phase-1....

Eager to know about when UG-1 tender is getting awarded and work starting on it...

So the routes, at least the end points, are finally out from the DPR for PH II.

Just out of curiosity, was looking at home page of Chennai Metro Rail corporation (CMRL) to find the list of awarded tenders. Wanted to see if it is the same set of companies (as in Bangalore) carrying out works there, or if there are any new & different names.

Metro at Bangalore is the right step forward towards making this city truly international. This will not only reduce congestion on our overloaded road transport but will also be environment friendly. The need to cut trees for road widening or using own vehicle for commuting will be nullified to a great extent. Travel by Metro will be convenient, safe and affordable for all.

Did anyone else notice the serious digging work going on around ITPL/Mahadevapura main road? This isn't some here and there soil testing type thing, they are making a continuous long trench on the north sidewalk of the main road going to ITPL. What's up? Phase-1 extension till ITPL - just can't be? Or has Phase-2 work begun now? Could be something else. Some pictures:
