What’s inside:
This article shares details about the upcoming construction of the Nedumbassery railway station in Ernakulam.
The construction of the Nedumbassery railway station is set to kick off in December. Railway officials have recently completed a thorough site inspection to prepare for this project.
A team of senior railway officers, including the Chief Project Manager and Deputy Chief Engineer, visited the site to ensure there is enough space for the new station and its facilities.
The new station will feature two platforms, a foot overbridge, an air-conditioned waiting hall, a ticket counter, and a lift. The project is expected to cost around Rs 20 crore, with half of the amount already allocated.
The existing railway land is not enough for all the planned facilities, so there will be discussions with CIAL to acquire more land. This will help improve access for passengers, especially to the airport.
The project aims to complete the station building on railway land first. Some land will need to be raised due to swampy conditions, and the nearby road may be affected as well.
Summary:
- Construction of Nedumbassery railway station starts in December.
- Senior railway officials inspected the site for adequate space.
- The project will cost around Rs 20 crore, with funds already allocated.
- Discussions for acquiring additional land with CIAL are planned.
- Station facilities will be built first on railway-owned land.
