This station will also have a yard, and it will be the largest underground facility of India, and city's first. It will be 550m long and 41.6m wide, and will facilitate stabling and reversal of rakes, but it will not be a carshed.[2] Previously the station was planned elevated, but after objection from AAI, the route was reworked and the station was planned underground from Airport to New Barrackpore.[3]
Facilitiesedit
It will be 500 m away from the current terminal building and 150 m from the proposed new terminal building but it will be connected via subways which will be having walkalators, then there will be escalator or elevator to reach the arrival or the departure levels. Counters for luggage check-in could be set up at the station and there might be a dedicated corridor for transporting the luggage to the boarding point. Also a longer corridor would be built for passengers to reach Jessore Road.[4][1]
Intersectionsedit
Here, Kolkata MetroLine 4 and Line 6 will meet. There will be 6 tracks, two for Line 4, two for Line 6, one for terminating and departing both Noapara and Barasat bound trains and one for the yard.
Historyedit
Constructionedit
The execution of this project has been entrusted to RVNL and the construction of the station-cum-yard is being done by ITD Cementation India Ltd. The tentative deadline is December 2021.[5]
Delaysedit
The work has been delayed for years due to multiple issues. At first AAI objected the station above the ground, stating that this could be a threat for air traffic. Many underground utilities, power sub-station and water treatment plant had to be shifted. Encroachments and Land acquisition problems held up the project for multiple times.[6][7]
