The placing of the train tracks for the Chennai Metro from Koyambedu will begin soon. Tracks will be installed along the Koyambedu-

St. Thomas Mount elevated stretch. Metro Rail will start laying tracks for the Koyambedu to St. Thomas Mount very soon.

The rails have come from France to Chennai, by ship. These tracks will be used on the elevated section from Koyambedu to St. Thomas Mount.

Fastenings to be used along the tracks are being sourced from the United Kingdom and China.
