The construction work on an elevated Metro line from Puttenahalli Cross station to Anjanapura Road Cross station is seeing visible progress with the erection of piers on this stretch.
This 6.29-km line consisting of five stations is part of the Metro Phase-II project (Reach 4A & 4B) which will pass through Kanakapura road in Bengaluru south. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has awarded the contract to Nagarjuna Constructions Company Limited (NCCL) for Rs 508.86 crore.
The NCCLhas fully set up 227 piles of the total 1,722 piles at Anjanapura Road Cross station, Krishna Leela Park station and Vajarahalli station among others. The pile foundation work will be followed by erecting piers (pillars) that holds the viaduct where gauge rails will be fixed.
"Barricading, cross trenching, road widening and drain works and foundation works at station locations are in progress. NCCL has set up their casting yard near Agara Cross, off Tataguni village", a senior BMRCL official said. The process of acquiring eight acres of land is almost over.
On cutting and pruning of trees up to Nice Road, the BMRCL is yet to receive permission from the BBMP (Forest department) and the tree committee. After the Nice Road, 34 trees out of 44 are have been cut till now and transplantation of two trees is over, an official statement stated.
Meanwhile, the BMRCL has awarded the work of partial demolition of buildings to Sai Retro Fabs and the work of complete demolition of buildings to Binyas Contech Pvt Ltd.
The extension up to Anjanapura Nice Road Junction would be a matter of relief for south Bengalureans who have been waiting for Metro connectivity for years. Despite the completion of 99% work from the Yelachenahalli Metro station to the National College station, the stretch has still not been opened to public due to lack of connectivity to the Metro depot.
Besides, the BMRCL has been able to start civil work only between Mysuru Road to Kengeri in two packages under Metro Phase-II project. The four other stretches including two extensions are still stuck at preliminary stages and might need many more months for the actual civil work to begin, according to BMRCL sources.![]( "Barricading, cross-trenching and road-widening and other works near stations are underway.")
