CHENNAI: In a few years, when phase-2 opens to the public, commuters can switch lines at seven places to reach core areas and suburbs as Chennai Metro Rail Limited will build a phase-2 station near the existing phase-1 stations.
Such stations will come up near Alandur, Nandanam, Thousand Lights, Vadapalani, CMBT, Thirumangalam and Kilpauk stations that are currently operating as part of the 45km phase-1. The stations in both phases will be linked by a foot over-bridge or pedestrian subways for easy access. The 118.9km phase-2 is expected to be ready by 2025.
