CHENNAI: Construction of Thiruvanmiyur metro station on Old Mahabalipuram Road, which will serve as a link between city core areas and the IT corridor, is likely to begin the next week.
Officials said the outer walls of the station will be built first ahead of the tunneling, which may commence later this year. Traffic has been diverted to make way for the construction on OMR. Similarly, construction of the outer walls of Greenways Road Metro has already begun under the corporation playground at RA Puram. Both Thiruvanmiyur and Greenways Road metro stations are part of the 45.8km corridor from Madhavaram to Siruseri SIPCOT.
