CHENNAI: Southern Railway on Thursday completed the installation of six steel girders, each weighing 75 tonnes, on the under-construction Rail Over Rail (ROR) bridge at St Thomas Mount, as part of the final leg of the five-km Velachery – St Thomas Mount MRTS Phase II project.
On Monday, three steel girders were launched, and subsequently, another three were placed on the ROR bridge structure on Thursday. These girders were positioned above the four railway lines, consisting of two slow and two fast lines, as part of the ROR bridge, which forms the foundation for the line connecting St Thomas Mount to the new terminal station of Phase II MRTS.
