Safety trials soon on Miyapur-SR Nagar stretch
The safety certification trials of the 12-km Miyapur-SR Nagar stretch of Hyderabad Metro Rail (HRM) project here will be conducted soon, a top official said on Thursday.
Hyderabad: The safety certification trials of the 12-km Miyapur-SR Nagar stretch of Hyderabad Metro Rail (HRM) project here will be conducted soon, a top official said on Thursday.
"We have completed 58 km of Metro foundations, 56 km of pillars and 46 km of viaduct and work on both the depots has been completed. For the Nagole-Mettuguda 8-km stretch, the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) has already given safety certification.
The second stage of Miyapur-SR Nagar (12 km) stretch will go for safety certification trials very soon," HMR managing director N V S Reddy told reporters.
"The project is on schedule and going on well ... there are still some hurdles and we will overcome them," Reddy said in a reply to a query. L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH), is developing the 72-km elevated Hyderabad Metro Rail project which will have three corridors and 66 stations. The HRM Project is the world's largest public-private partnership project (PPP) in the sector.
The metro network will cover a distance of around 72 km across three corridors. The project was scheduled to be completed by July 2017, but delays like changes in alignment, land acquisition etc have resulted in project overshooting the deadline and all the three Metro Rail corridors would be completed by December 2018, authorities said.
