After a wait of over one year, the AAI (Airport Authority of India) Board has given its nod to the long pending design of Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport metro station. This is the last station on the 23km North-South Corridor starting from Munshipulia to airport covering 22 stations in all. It will be an underground station around 100 metres away from the main airport building.
LMRC sources told TOI, "This is a significant development for completion of first phase of metro project as we had been trying for approval for the past one year. The board has agreed to our design and would soon be dispatching its official letter to us." Meanwhile, Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation has already issued tender of CCS Airport Metro Station worth around Rs 300 crore last week.
Daljeet Singh, director Infrastructure and works LMRC said, "By the time we get the letter from AAI, we would have appointed contractor for the airport stretch. The last day for receiving bids is March 20. Since it is an international competitive bid and the contractor has to qualify on technical as well as financial grounds, selection and awarding of contract may take some time. We expect the work on airport metro station to begin in June."
