This is an addition to my prevous post. This is a nicer representation of what the metro will look like after the completion of Phase 2 and the completion of Moro/LRT. (Open in new window/tab for a nice large view)
I had the Boston MTA (the 'T') map in mind when I did this. This brings together the existing commuter rail, the metro and the Mono/LRT lines together to show the connectivity between the stations. When you're coming to bangalore from Mysore, you can get off at Kengeri / Nayandahalli and board the metro through an underground walkable route for passengers. Same will be at the Whitefield/Cantonment station when you're reaching bangalore from Chennai.
I was driving by Marenhalli road in Jaynagar and I saw the 'namma metro' safety partitions on three places on this road. This would be the Yellow line that goes from RV Rd. to Electronic city through Silk Board. Looks like Phase 2 is going to start before the completion of Phase 1. The metro is going to run on the left of Marenhalli road (a.k.a. Inner Ring Road, a.k.a. RagiGudda Rd, a.k.a. BTM Rd) if you are driving towards Silk Board. That's good news.
oncrete structure (whatever it's called) on the pillars and the rails on it. The side parts are remaining.
- Also, a small progress report on the metro construction I have seen:
- The curve on the green line at the northern end of RV Road (Minerva) is almost complete. They've laid the cThe puttenhalli part seems to be coming along quite fine. A drive down Kanakpura road shows an 'almost complete' metro from Sarakki signal till Puttenhalli stop.
- RV Road has gone back to being awesomer after they've removed the blockades they had for the construction and re-metalled the roads. Only the parts of the road under the 4 stations are remaining. The divider between the roads is being done now as well. The few parts, where the divider is constructed, painted and some bushes laid, look very pretty.
- The Mysore road part is going on but very slow. The ORR, Mys Rd double fly over construction is in full swing to compensate for the slow metro construction.
- I read that the northern part of the green line - From Kuvempu Rd to Peenya is going to be functional in a few months. (Will update the post with a link to the article later... Maybe)
