CMRL yet to finish construction of second entry/exit of OTA-Nanganallur Road station

Though it has been more than a year since the announcement, Chennai Metro Rail is yet to finish the construction of a second entry/exit at OTA-Nanganallur Road Metro Rail station.

In the 54-km Phase I and Phase I extension network, OTA-Nanganallur Road Metro Rail station is part of the Wimco Nagar-Chennai Airport corridor. While most of the stations in the Phase I network had 3-4 entry/exit points, OTA-Nanganallur was among the few which had only one entry/exit (situated in the direction of vehicle flow from Alandur to Chennai Airport). Many years after its opening, Chennai Metro Rail finally got the land to construct the second entry/exit in August last year, and this structure would provide access to passengers coming from the Chennai airport towards Alandur.
