We will complete it by April end and by mid-May, you can expect two-way traffic to be restored,” a metro rail official said.LIC and Thousand Lights stations were part of the 10km stretch from Washermenpet and AG-DMS which was thrown open to the public on February 10. Cmrl officials said the pending construction work at the LIC and Thousand Lights metro stations is expected to be completed by end of April post which the roads will be handed over to the city police for restoring earlier traffic patterns.“Construction of the two entry/exit points for LIC and Thousand Lights is still underway..
