Kollam railway station redevelopment progressing rapidly

Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw has informed N.K. Premachandran, MP, that the ₹361-crore Kollam railway station redevelopment project is progressing at a fast pace. Key infrastructure works, including the service building, multi-level car parking facility, and the parcel building, have already been completed.

The ongoing works at the station include the construction of a 12-meter-wide foot overbridge, an air concourse, northern and southern terminal buildings, and the upgrading of existing platforms. Central to the project is the air concourse, a vital structural element designed to drastically improve passenger mobility. Functioning as a unified overhead transit corridor, it will link the South and North terminal buildings located 120 meters apart. Once operational, the concourse will allow passengers to move effortlessly between terminals and platforms, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free travel experience.
