Pune Infra Watch: Work on Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar metro line begins with casting of segment
The work of casting segments for the 23-km elevated metro rail line from Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar began last Friday, said Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) officials.
“The length of one segment is around 3.6 metres and the weight is around 50 tonnes. Around 10-12 such segments are used between two pillars,” said Suhas Diwase, Metropolitan Commissioner of PMRDA.
The actual work on the third metro line from Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar began in November last year, three years after the PMRDA signed a contract with a joint venture of Tata and Siemens to develop the much-awaited metro line, which can be useful to professionals of Hinjewadi IT Park.
