Steel Bridge Installation Underway Above Radial Road Flyover For Chennai Metro
Chennai Metro Rail construction authorities are currently installing a steel bridge above the Radial Road flyover between the upcoming Echangadu and Kovilambakkam metro stations. The new structure is being built to provide direct metro connectivity between Chennai city and its southern suburbs, marking a major milestone in the development of the city's transit network.
The ongoing installation of the steel bridge is a key component of the infrastructure work on this specific stretch of the metro corridor. By positioning the bridge directly above the Radial Road flyover, the construction teams are working to connect the metro alignment between the Echangadu and Kovilambakkam stations.
This steel bridge is part of the larger 44.6-kilometre metro corridor that connects Madhavaram Milk Colony and Sholinganallur. The corridor is designed to bridge the gap between Chennai's northern areas and its southern suburbs, making daily commutes smoother for residents traveling across the city.
Work is progressing steadily on this section of the route, with multiple construction activities taking place simultaneously. The Echangadu and Kovilambakkam metro stations, which are part of the 44.6-kilometre corridor from Madhavaram Milk Colony to Sholinganallur, are likely to be ready by March. The steel bridge installation is progressing alongside this station construction.
The bridge is one of the major structures being built between the Echangadu and Kovilambakkam stations. Its completion is expected to ensure seamless transit above the existing road infrastructure, creating a direct connection above the Radial Road flyover.
As construction continues above the Radial Road flyover, metro authorities are focusing on completing this vital link. The steel bridge remains a crucial piece of infrastructure that will ultimately connect Chennai city directly to the southern suburbs upon the corridor's completion. The project continues to move forward as workers install the bridge to link the alignment between the Echangadu and Kovilambakkam stations.
