What’s inside:
This article shares the latest updates on the Patna Metro project, including the start of underground work and its impact on the city.
The Patna Metro project is really moving ahead now. Work has started on digging for the underground metro station near Golambar Junction, which is one of the busiest spots in the city. This area sees heavy traffic day and night, making it a key location for the metro’s development.
As part of this project, six modern island platforms will be built underground, similar to major metro stations around the world. All stations will be fully air-conditioned, focusing on passenger comfort and safety. This underground section is set to change how Patna looks and operates.
Important stations like Patna Junction, Vidyut Bhawan, and Patna Zoo will be connected through this underground metro. The design of Patna Junction Metro Station is particularly important, as it aims to provide seamless connectivity between the metro and the railway services.
There will be two main entry and exit points for the Patna Junction metro station, one near the old milk market and another in front of Buddha Smriti Park. A 17-meter subway will link the Milk Market to Junction Golambar, with excavation work already underway.
This project is quite challenging, especially since the metro line will run directly under Patna Junction. The plan is to complete the underground section in 36 months, with construction moving to elevated tracks outside the junction. This metro will help ease traffic and improve public transport in Patna.
Summary:
- Excavation for the Patna Metro is underway near Golambar Junction.
- Six air-conditioned underground platforms will enhance passenger experience.
- Key stations like Patna Junction will improve connectivity.
- Two main entry and exit points are being developed at Patna Junction.
- The entire underground section aims to be finished in 36 months.
