Chennai Metro's New Urban Marvel: The Giant at Kathipara

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin conducted an inspection of the massive viaduct construction at Kathipara Junction, a key feature of the Chennai Metro Rail's Phase II along corridor 5. He urged officials to speed up the work, aiming for public use shortly.

Accompanied by MSME Minister T M Anbarasan and senior officials, Stalin received briefings on the project's current progress from Metro Rail authorities. The new viaduct will seamlessly integrate with the existing flyover and network corridors, transforming the area beneath into an urban square filled with amenities.

The viaduct at Kathipara is particularly notable for its connection from Madhavaram to Sholinganallur, featuring the tallest pillar in Phase II at 108 feet. Expected to finish by 2028, Stalin emphasized the significance of this 'Engineering Marvel' on social media, highlighting its potential to enhance urban transit and improve commuter experiences in Chennai.
