[Pics] Noida Metro’s Progress along Noida – Gr. Noida Expressway

Here are some brand new images of Noida’s 30.016 km new metro line to Greater Noida! These images provide a glimpse of the progress made on the NC02 section of the line between Sector 137 and Sector 149 where the metro line is being built by the CEC-SAM JV on the partially built sector road that runs parallel to the Noida – Greater Noida expressway. Once the civil construction of the metro line nears completion in 2017, the rest of the sector road on either side of the line will be built.
