Southern Railway's Chennai Beach-Egmore 4th Line Project Advances

Southern Railway has reported swift progress on the ₹274-crore Chennai Beach-Egmore fourth line project. To facilitate this critical infrastructure upgrade, MRTS services between Chennai Beach and Chintadripet have been temporarily suspended.

Most of the construction is nearly complete, except for a 110-meter stretch awaiting land exchange and final permissions from the Navy. Work on this section is expected to begin once approvals are secured.
