The construction of the long-pending Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) extension project from Velachery to St Thomas Mount stations is on the verge of completion and is likely to be finished by July 2022, according to officials of the Southern Railways.
The 5-km Phase-II extension, when completed, will add three more stations linking Chennai Metro corridors with the MRTS and suburban rail network. The new stations would be Puzhudhivakkam, Adambakkam and St Thomas Mount.
B Guganesan, Chief Public Relations Officer, Southern Railways, said the extension project is in progress between Velachery and St Thomas Mount and is targeted to be completed by July.
