Bengaluru: After months of delay, the South Western Railway (SWR) is set to approve the alignment of the Bengaluru Suburban Railway Project’s Corridor 4 and provide it with the necessary land within the next 10 days.
The twin breakthroughs will pave the way for the award of the civil contract and the start of groundwork on Corridor 4, well-placed sources said.
This was made possible by a reduction in railway land requirement from 194.07 acres to 115.472 acres. The reduction was necessary because the railways needed land to quadruple the train tracks between Baiyappanahalli and Hosur (41 km). A stretch of Corridor 4 falls within this line.
