The metro construction works have become active in Aluva with the beginning of the test piling at Pulinchode in the first reach between Aluva and Kalamassery.
“We’ve doing the works in small stretches after barricading the site so that traffic would be affected to the minimum. The second and third pillars at the first reach would be set up at the Aluva service Road and the Aluva station area respectively next week,” metro sources said.
The traditional pooja and test piling at Pulinchoodu was held on Friday morning. DMRC project director P Sriram, Chief Executive Shaji Sakria and officials of the contractor L & T were present on the occasion.
The viaduct will pass through the sides and middle of the NH-47.
Meanwhile, the feasibility study for the 2nd phase has begun with the contractor Rail India Technical And Economic Services (Rites Ltd) starting the process.
“Four different groups have been formed to do the feasibility study on the proposed expansion of the metro network to Kakkanad, Angamaly and the western suburbs of the city.
The process will be completed in seven months when a detailed blueprint for the second phase will be formed,” they said
