Joka-B.B.D. Bagh Link

A 16.72km long metro line from Joka (in extreme South Kolkata) and B B D Bagh (in central Kolkata) is also under construction . It is being constructed by RVNL and the tender has gone to Simplex Infrastructures. The proposed stations on this route are[4] 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

The proposed Park Street and Esplanade stations won't be the same as the ones on the north-south Metro route. The Joka-BBD Bag route will meet the north-south services at the Central station, said a senior Metro official. This is where the upcoming East-West Metro is likely to meet the two routes as well. Passengers can take different routes from this station

New Garia-Airport Link

A connection between New Garia and the Airport(32km) via E M Bypass , Saltlake and Rajarhat is on the cards in order to help reduce travel time between the southern fringes of Kolkata to the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport. The work on this New Garia-Airport was inaugurated by Mamata Banerjee on February 7, 2011 with a project deadline of six months.[5] The deadline is surely going to be missed as construction work hasn't begun anywhere yet. The 32km link between Kavi Subhas (New Garia) and the airport, to be set up at a cost of Rs 400 crore, will have 24 stations. The stations, as declared till now, will be named after eminent personalities.[5] 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
