Three of the total 36 jetties anticipated under the project are completed, while another five are getting set for completion in June, with the first lot of five of the 23 ferries envisaged in the initial phase of the 747-crore Water Metro project likely to be ready for operation in June.
Vytilla (where the Water Metro’s operational control centre is being built), Kakkanad, and Eloor have finished jetties. In June, the jetties at High Court, Bolgatty, Vypeen, Cheranalloor, and South Chittoor will be ready, in time for the scheduled launch of the first batch of ferries on the High Court-Bolgatty-Vypeen route. Six other jetties are approaching construction as well.
Among them, 95% of civil works and 60 % of electrical works are over for Cheranalloor and Chittoor jetties, sources in Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) said.
