Chennai Metro Rail to build tunnel from Thirumayilai to Boat Club via Alwarpet in August
Chennai Metro Rail Limited is set to begin underground tunneling for the phase II project's corridor 4 in August. The 2.2-km stretch will utilize tunnel boring machines to navigate complex soil conditions between Thirumayilai and Boat Club.
Why it matters
This infrastructure development is critical for improving urban mobility and reducing traffic congestion in Chennai's southern residential and commercial hubs.
Building underground networks for the upcoming Chennai Metro Rail’s phase II project is gradually expanding to more areas in the southern parts of the city now. A few months after one section of underground network was completed from Light House to Thirumayilai, the next one from Thirumayilai towards Boat Club is all set to commence in the first week of August.
