Anand Vihar RRTS to be a first-of-its-kind underground station

The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor's future Anand Vihar RRTS station will hold the distinction of being the only RRTS station to be built just one level below ground level. The seamless transition of passengers from one mode of transportation to another will be made possible by this distinctive station design. Two levels below the surface, a standard underground commuter station is being built, making it adequately deep. Because the Anand Vihar RRTS station would only be 8m deep, it will be a unique structure and a technical marvel. The station was slated to be built 15 m below the surface in the preliminary comprehensive project study. The RRTS corridor, however, was unable to be built because of the Metro infrastructure's pre-existing basis. Thus, the concourse level was moved to ground level and the Anand Vihar RRTS station was redesigned as an 8 m deep station.

Following a renovation, the station is now being built just below the existing Anand Vihar metro station's basement. From the perspective of building and civil engineering, this is a very difficult assignment, but because NCRTC is dedicated to passenger convenience, it is making it happen by utilising new technology, strategic planning, and cutting-edge approaches.

This station is being built top-down, which means that the ground level will be built first and then the underground level. With the aid of a (Sudarshan) Tunnel Boring Machine, four tunnels are being built for the corridor to allow for passage on both sides of the station. 35 m wide and 297 m long will make up the Anand Vihar RRTS station.
