Posted on: 18/Aug/2018 12:19:03 PM
Trial runs for metro trains in the stretch beneath Anna Salai will be operated in the month of September. According to the reports of Chennai Metro Rail Ltd (CMRL) the construction works are in the final phase of installing critical signaling system nearing completion. Civil works and laying of tracks are almost completed in this stretch. One of the metro officials told the ten kilometer stretch from Washermenpet to AG-DMS via Central Metro is targeted for complete operations for public use by the end of 2018 or early 2019.
In the 45 km phase-1 the Washermenpet to AG-DMS line of 10 km stretch is the last remaining part for reaching the completion of the phase. Once the lines get clearance from test trails and operated on full swing the commuters can travel from Central metro to Airport in 45 minutes via Anna Salai.
The three kilometer stretch between Washermenpet and Central Metro is ready but not operated as the CMRL didn’t complete the rest of the line connecting AG-DMS reported a CMRL official. After several financial problems and abandoned works the project is almost nearing completion and the line will be opened for public within the first half of 2019.
