KOLKATA: The anticipation among the people of Kolkata has reached a fever pitch as significant developments unfold in the East-West Metro expansion project. The construction works spanning from Howrah Maidan to Esplanade are nearly complete, with a focused effort on electrical, beautification, and miscellaneous tasks that are rapidly nearing their conclusion. The ambitious goal is to open this stretch for commercial use by the end of this year, heralding a new era of seamless commuting between Howrah and Esplanade.
This metro will connect the centuries-old twin cities of Howrah and Kolkata beneath the waters of the Hooghly River, expanding the reach of the metro services to the residents of adjoining districts. Among the remarkable developments, the underground Howrah Metro station is taking its final form, poised to become the country's deepest metro station in India, nestled 35 meters below ground level.
