Chennai: After intermittent hiccups, metro rail's airport line is taking final shape.
The new contractor, who has been awarded work to build viaduct and stations, has started building a trench to take the line below the surface under the air funnel area between OTA and Meenambakkam stations. Work was stalled for some time after an earlier contract failed.
The elevated metro rail line from Alandur dips below surface for around 500m after it crosses Officers Training Academy (OTA) station, and comes out and reaches Meenambakkam metro station. The alignment goes underground to prevent it from becoming a hindrance for flights landing on the second runway.
