The Chennai Metro Rail has commenced construction work on the Sterling Road junction in Nungambakkam for the construction of a portion of the Sterling Road junction metro station. The station will link core city localities with the metro rail network. The 118.9km phase-2, which includes a 42.6km underground corridor, is expected to be completed by 2026. Sterling Road junction metro station will be one of the two stations connecting Nungambakkam with Madhavaram and OMR IT corridor as part of corridor-3 from Madhavaram to Siruseri Sipcot of phase-2. To make way for the construction of a shaft, which is part of the Sterling Road junction station, workers have demolished a portion of the compound and a structure of a private school on Sterling Road junction. Scores of structures have been demolished inside the Good Shepherd School for the diversion of underground utilities and the construction of TBM receiving shaft.
