With about 70% of the viaduct of the Kochi metro’s 11.20-km Kakkanad extension (Pink Line) complete and the laying of tracks set to begin, pending works on all 11 stations in the corridor are set to gather momentum after an initial lull. This is in keeping with the revised deadline of August 2027, which has been set to complete the works on the extension, official sources said.

Contrary to the perception that a few stations will have entry/exit only from one side of the road, 10 of the 11 stations will have entry/exit from both sides of the road beneath the upcoming metro extension. The terminal station, whose work is set to begin on the Smart City premises, will have entry/exit only on the right hand side, while a foot overbridge will provide a link for members of the public to access the station, they added.
