“With the tunnels proving ready for operations in this 4-km stretch, the works for finishes and fit-outs are being done day and night to achieve early commissioning. Also, the surface restoration works are on-going in parallel,” the officials said.
With the completion works of the installation of various systems including Tunnel Ventilation, HVAC, Signalling, Platform Screen Doors, Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) gates, this trial run in the 4-km underground section on the Mount road will pave way to CMRL’s plan for commissioning of the underground Metro infrastructure in the Chennai’s busiest arterial road, the officials noted.
The underground Metro stations at AG-DMS, Teynampet, Nandanam and Saidapet are getting set for the revenue operations shortly to enable Metro users to get a glimpse of the Adyar river from across the Metro crossing adjacent to the Maraimalai Adigal Bridge, they pointed out.
