Yeah I’ve heard about this too. It is quite a big deal. The authorities were a bit worried about this first installation, since it was quite a difficult feat to achieve. I hear that they transported the girder from the metro casting yard at Kalamassery, using two big cranes and specially enforced trailers. The installation was done late at night, last Saturday around midnight, so it would cause the minimum disturbance to the traffic at this junction. After the first successful installation, the authorities decided to make the second one on Sunday night.

Yes you have heard correctly. This is a kind of a defining moment for the Kochi metro works, because this happens to be the first concrete girder of the Kochi metro. The girder is U shaped, and 25m long and 5m wide. Ive also heard that it weighs about 150 ton. Yeah, that’s a huge development in my opinion. This actually proves that the Kochi metro is progressing and will soon be operational. I think this has made investors sit up and take notice. If I were you I would invest pretty soon here, because with each such new developments in the metro constructions, prices are likely to go up.

Well what to tell you, the construction of a metro station close to your property will anyway affect the property prices. The rent as well as the cost of your apartment will go up, if you choose to sell it later. Otherwise, the thing that you mentioned, the new girder at the Vytilla metro station; yeah i’ve heard about it too. I think a lot of people would prefer Vytilla over other localities in Kochi, because of so many developmental projects here. Not just the metro station, but also the mobility hub.
