CMRL’s pillars over Kathipara flyover to be completed soon

The Chennai Metro Rail’s phase II construction work over the Kathipara clover flyover is moving quickly, and will be completed in four months.

This section of Metro Rail’s Corridor 5 – Madhavaram to Sholinganallur via Alandur – has the tallest pillar and sharpest curve in the entire phase II network, said officials of the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL).

The CMRL is building six pillars at the Kathipara flyover junction.

In a few years, commuters using this corridor will have access to two stations around this junction — Butt Road and Alandur (both phase I and phase II networks integrate in this location).
