Construction of ‘halt’ railway station at Kilambakkam begins

The Hindu  

The work on the construction of a railway station at Kilambakkam, meant to make access to the suburban bus terminus easier for Chennaiites, has begun. Based on a request and funding from the Tamil Nadu government, the Southern Railway drew up plans to construct a halt railway station at Kilambakkam to provide last-mile connectivity to commuters boarding long-distance south-bound buses. Chennai Divisional Railway Manager Viswanath Eerya said the delay in commencing the construction work of the railway station was due to land acquisition, but it was sorted out a few months ago. He added the halt railway station coming up between Vandalur and Urapakkam would be integrated with a skywalk to give quick and easy access to the Kilambakkam bus terminus.
