The Kanpur Metro Rail Project recently got a significant upgrade as the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) completed the construction of 276 pile caps of the 5-km long elevated section from Baradevi to Naubasta of Corridor 1. The five metro stations that fall in this section, namely Baradevi, Kidwai Nagar, Vasant Vihar, Baudh Nagar and Naubasta are also being developed.

On completing this significant task, the UPMRC Managing Director, Sushil Kumar shared on X, “We have completed the casting of all 276 Pile Caps for this section and will soon complete the casting of all the piers. The team of engineers of Uttar Pradesh Metro is working day and night to provide timely metro service to the city residents.

Ahead of this, the construction of track between the Bada Chauraha and Naveen Market station underground section has also commenced. Regarding this, UPMRC tweeted a few days ago from its official handle, “After Kanpur Metro’s Nayaganj to Bada Chauraha, track construction work has started between Bada Chauraha to Naveen Market station. After welding of railway tracks, casting of track slab started from today.”

Rapid construction is also underway on the Kanpur Central-Transport Nagar underground section.
