Does it mean that the tender is for integrated viaduct cum stations for both lower deck ( line 4 ) and ( upper deck )in that integrated section !?
Upper deck ( line 5 ) *
Hasn’t been revealed, but most likely this section will have just one pair of tracks. I don’t see the point of building a double decker viaduct.
WHat’s the deal with the integrated section – will there be two separate sets of track, or will they have shared tracks?

At Kelly’s when work will start sir ? This year or next year ?
Next year. Bid submission deadline is Sept 9 2019. After that, CMRL will need 2-6 months for technical bid evaluation and contractor will need 3-6 months for mobilization / hiring.
No , it’s double deck integrated only for some 4 kms . Line 4 in level 1 with two tracks and line 5 in level 2 with separate two tracks . It’s already in dpr prepared in December 2018 . Hence asked if tender is for both levels.
Double decker viaduct is a nonsensical idea. The route itself is ill planned. To cut cost CMRL is doing this. Porur Junction will be an ugly looking concrete forest. ;(
Witch location in valasarvakkm metro station???
at valasaravakkam, whether it is underground or elevated tracks?
