In a series of contracts being awarded to move ahead with full-fledged construction of Chennai Metro Rail’s phase II project, ITD Cementation will get two contracts for building underground stretches from Kodambakkam to Light House as they had emerged as the lowest bidder. The firm would build tunnels and stations in Boat Club, Nandanam, Panagal Park, Kodambakkam, Kodambakkam Flyover, Light House, Kutchery Road, Alwarpet and Bharathidasan Road.
Of the Phase II project’s three corridors, construction work has been on for many weeks in a section of Corridor 3 from Poonamallee to Light House.
This corridor had been designed in such a way that while half of it would be elevated, the other half will be an underground stretch.
