Work on Central Square Begins

The Chennai Metro’s mega plan to construct a commercial intersection near the Chennai Central Metro station – the Central Square – has finally taken off. L&T Geostructure has bagged the contract from Chennai Metro to build a section of this project. The parking lot will have a capacity to accommodate around 1,000 cars and will benefit thousands of passengers who travel to the Chennai Central railway station, the suburban station, the MRTS station and the Chennai Central Metro station. The Central Square, estimated to cost ?400 crore, will not only connect four stations, but also have huge space for bus bays so that passengers can switch from one mode of transport to another, subways and extensive landscaping as well.
