The Odisha government Saturday announced a Metro train project on the about 100 km Cuttack-Bhubaneswar-Khurda-Puri route to resolve heavy traffic-related issues.
The project will be predominantly based on elevated corridors and entirely funded by the state government, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said announcing the project on the occasion of Utkala Dibasa (Odisha Day).
In the first phase the metro trunk route from Trisulia near Cuttack to Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar will be created and will tentatively touch major landmarks such as Nandankanan, Patia, Vani Vihar and Bhubaneswar railway station, he said.
