Corridor 4 connects Lighthouse on the Marina beachfront to Poonamallee Bypass, linking the central and western regions of the city, including Mylapore, Kodambakkam, Vadapalani, Porur, and Kumananchavadi.
Corridor 5 serves as an inter-corridor connector, linking Madhavaram Milk Colony to Sholinganallur through Koyambedu, Alandur, and Velachery, thereby enhancing east-west transit.
The agreement encompasses comprehensive operations and maintenance duties for all three lines. On Wednesday, CMRL Managing Director M A Siddique presented the Letter of Acceptance to DMRC Managing Director Dr. Vikas Kumar.
