Egmore to get renovated platform & overbridge
Posted on: 26/Nov/2012 10:38:31 AM
Southern Railway has begun works to set right two infrastructural drawbacks at the second largest station in the city - a narrow entry-exit pathway to a foot over bridge that leads to suburban platforms and repairs at the damaged platform number two.
The works started after passengers flooded railways with complaints about the inconveniences while boarding express and suburban trains.
The narrow pathway to a foot overbridge which was built more than 100 years ago on the eastern end of the station has been demolished to make it wider.
Platform two, which can be accessed without foot over bridges or escalators, is also being renovated after portions of it started to cave in a few months ago.
Stone tiles have been dug up and new concrete slabs are being laid after strengthening the ground.
