I have an update, a few others have demanded a four-lane bridge in place of the two-lane bridge that had been planned. After this, work continued using skeletal workforce with police protection. At least it's all sorted now.

Hello, even i am very interested in the Metro project, and keep tabs on the latest happenings. Sources have said the Rs. 52-crore project cost (including funds for land acquisition) might increase due to delay in works and the rise in expenses for labour and raw materials.

Well, the metro agency was forced to call off work in the second half of 2014 after a section of land owners opposed land acquisition, while some other protesters demanded a change in bridge alignment.

I have an update from a friend, who is working on the project. Though the work on pillars is almost over on the northern side, construction works will have to be done afresh on the land taken over on Monday.

Hey i know why the DMRC couldn't finish the project. The hydraulic rig engaged in piling on the southern side of the level cross was shifted out after protests intensified. In my opinion, the government should really put a stop to these pointless protests.

I wanted to tell you that the DMRC which began work on the bridge in March 2014 was confident of completing the bridge within a record six-month period if land was handed over, but some how that didn't happen.

Did you know that another reason for the loss a major part of the November-April working season was because of protests and litigation. If that wouldn't have happened i think the delay could have been avoided.

The Kochi Corporation is expected to clear debris and other material of demolished structures since the road belongs to them. Then the DMRC can begin full-fledged work on the bridge once this is over, provided there are no further protests at the work site.

They added that the bridge would be ready in another six months, by September 2015, if everything went well. The bridge could have been completed by the end of 2014 but for a spree of protests.

Here is what i know, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is gearing up to resume work on the construction of Pachalam overbridge in a week’s time, following forcible acquisition of 46 cents of land on Monday.
