Chennai Metro Installs Longest U-Girder to Cut Costs

Chennai Metro Installs Longest U-Girder to Cut Costs

Chennai is building a new metro train line, and they just put up a super-long, giant concrete beam called a U-girder!

This is the longest one used for a metro project in India.

They used it at a busy spot called Manapakkam.

Instead of using expensive steel, they built this special concrete one, which saved money and time.

The team planned it for months, studying traffic to make it work.

This is part of a bigger project to build more train lines and help people get around easily.
