Kolkata Metro's New Garia-Airport Route Makes Headway as RVNL Expedites Construction

Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) is set to complete the construction of two piers near the Metropolitan crossing on Kolkata Metro's New Garia-Airport route by August. The construction, backed by Kolkata Traffic Police, benefits from a 90-day traffic block. The New Garia-Beleghata stretch could be commissioned this fiscal year.

Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) is swiftly advancing the construction of two key piers near the Metropolitan crossing on Kolkata Metro's New Garia-Airport route. This significant achievement is slated for completion by August this year, according to an official.

In an effort to facilitate seamless construction and traffic flow, RVNL has obtained clearance from Kolkata Traffic Police. Consequently, a 90-day traffic block has been implemented from June 13, allowing for uninterrupted work without major disruptions to daily commutes.

Currently, RVNL engineers, in collaboration with state government authorities, are reinforcing Pier No. 288. Simultaneously, efforts are underway on Pier No. 289, ensuring all safety measures are thoroughly observed. The New Garia-Beleghata stretch, a 10 km segment of the New Garia-Airport route, is anticipated to be commissioned within the current fiscal year.

At present, metro services on this budding corridor cover the span between New Garia (Kavi Subhas) and Ruby Crossing (Hemanta Mukhopadhyay), stretching approximately 5.5 km.
