MahaMetro inviting tenders 7.7-km stretch

In its quest to construct the 7.7-km-long viaduct on Civil Court-Ramwadi route as quickly as possible, MahaMetro Rail Corporation is all set to invite tenders to complete the entire procedure in three months, managing director Brijesh Dixit said. He further added that the metro rail has already carried out the required surveys and alignment of this corridor. The route has been planned via RTO, Pune Station, Bund Garden, Yerawada, Nagar Road and Ramwadi with eight stations on the entire elevated stretch. The Civil Court-Ramwadi line is a part of Vanaz-Ramwadi Metro corridor on which MahaMetro has started civil work on the Vanaz to Civil Court stretch. The Metro route has been changed near Pune station after the railway administration sought rerouting of the line via Raja Bahadur Mill Road-end instead of the earlier alignment via Pune station‘s main entrance, he claimed.
