Kochi Metro has always succeeded in its mission to bring the whole city together. Metro’s extension from Petta to SN Junction (Thripunithura) is the next one on the soon-to-be-accomplished list. The district administration together with KMRL officials are working on this project which is set to be completed by May 31, 2019. Kochi Metro Rail Limited will acquire 2.75 acres of land for preparatory work and 2 acres of land for the construction of the two stations. Two elevated stations (Vadakkekotta and SN Junction) and a two-lane bridge across Panamkutty River along with metro viaduct is the scope of work under the contract and the online tender will be opened on May 27th.
