The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Saturday announced the construction of a new interchange hub at central Delhi’s RK Ashram Marg metro station. The station, which falls on the Blue Line, will be connected to the RK Ashram Marg station of the Magenta Line, making it easier for commuters travelling between central and north Delhi areas.
“RK Ashram Marg Metro station on Blue Line is being converted into an interchange. It will be connecting RK Ashram Marg Metro station of Magenta Line. Commuters will have access to alternate & shorter routes from Central to North Delhi,” Delhi Metro said in a tweet.
The DMRC said that a new underground station will be constructed adjacent to the existing elevated station to provide a ‘convenient mode of transit’ which will help in decongesting the busy Blue Line.
