On Sunday, July 21, the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) commenced tunneling in Royapettah. As part of the grand Phase II Project, CMRL will construct an underground station in Royapettah. This endeavor, which is a part of corridor 3 (Madhavaram to SIPCOT), will cost an estimated INR 250 Crore.
The Royapettah Metro station, positioned beneath Westcott Road at a depth of 21.5 Meters, will span 150 Meters in length and 22 Meters in width. Four TBMs will emerge from this site. TBM ‘Bhavani’, which has just begun its journey, is expected to take around seven months to traverse 910 Meters to reach R.K. Salai.
