Tunnel boring machines slow down to keep pace with station construction in Metro Rail’s phase II projectChennai Metro Rail's Phase II project, connecting various parts of the city, has been underway for a few years. The project includes three corridors: Madhavaram to SIPCOT (corridor 3), Light House to Poonamallee (corridor 4), and Madhavaram to Sholinganallur (corridor 5). While tunneling has progressed well in many locations, especially in...

This is due to the cancellation of bids for station construction in 2021, resulting in a delay in awarding contracts. Consequently, tunnel boring machines (TBM) have either been slowed down or completed their work and are waiting to enter the stations. The TBMs in stretches like Ayanavaram to Otteri, Ayanavaram to Perambur, and Chetpet to Sterling Road are awaiting station completion to proceed. Other locations, such as Madhavaram High Road to Moolakadai and Greenways Road to Mandaveli, have had their TBMs slowed down due to the delay in station construction. These delays have pushed back the opening of the Madhavaram to Taramani stretch by over a year. CMRL officials are working to accelerate the station construction process.

Yeh 2021 mein station construction ke bids cancel hone ki wajah se hua hai, jisse contract award hone mein delay ho gaya. Isse tunnel boring machines (TBM) ya toh slow ho gayi hain ya unhone apna kaam khatam kar diya hai aur stations mein enter karne ka wait kar rahi hain. Ayanavaram se Otteri, Ayanavaram se Perambur, aur Chetpet se Sterling Road jaise stretches mein TBMs station complete hone ka wait kar rahi hain. Dusre locations, jaise Madhavaram High Road se Moolakadai aur Greenways Road se Mandaveli mein, TBMs slow kar di gayi hain kyunki station construction mein delay hai. In delays ki wajah se Madhavaram se Taramani stretch ka opening ek saal se zyada late ho gaya hai. CMRL ke officials station construction ko jaldi karne ke liye koshish kar rahe hain.
