The construction work for Phase-1 of the Rs 12,020-crore Surat Metro rail project has begun after tenders worth over Rs 3,002 crore for various civil works, including those for the underground section, were awarded by the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC).
Work has started on the 21.58-kilometre corridor between Sarthana and Dream city, officials of GMRC told The Indian Express.
This is the longest of the two corridors being built under Phase-1 of the project. “Work has started on the elevated corridor between Dream city to Majura Gate and in the underground section between Kapodara and Chowk Bazaar,” officials said.
