Bengaluru: Here is good news for residents of Kanakapura Road and nearby areas. After an inspection of the under-construction extension of Namma Metro’s Green Line on Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru Development Minister K.J. George said on Friday the stretch would be the first of Phase II to be opened to the public by December 2018.

“We have asked the contractor, NCC Limited, to complete civil work on Reach-4B by March 2018,’’ Minister George said.

The 6.5-km line has five stations, ending at Anjanapura Township station.

“The works are progressing very fast. Metro authorities have assured us that the civil works will end by March 2018 after which track laying and signaling will take some time. We expect the line to be opened by December 2018,” he said. Similarly, the extension of Purple Line on Mysuru Road is progressing relatively fast. Metro officials said tenders for the 13-km underground stretch of Red Line between Dairy Circle and Nagawara would be finalised only by the end of the month.
