The Kanaka line is an under-construction Bengaluru Suburban rail line between Heelalige and Rajanakunte. The 35 km (22 mi) long broad-gauge line was approved in 2019. The construction works for the line which is also referred as 'corridor-4' began in 2024. The line is named after the flower Kanaka (Crossandra infundibuliformis) in Kannada.

History

[edit]

The Heelalige to Rajanakunte line via Yelahanka was the longest among the four proposed corridors by RITES in 2019.[2] It was then approved in the following year along with other corridors.[3] The line was then named after the regional flower's Kannada name Kanaka.[4]

In 2024, minister for railways in Karnataka, V Somanna stated that the Mallige (line 2) along with Kanaka (line 4) were prioritised over the other two.[5] In 2024, the pre-construction works for the line had commenced along with acquisition process of private land for the corridor, and work had already commenced on minor bridges and earth-retaining structures.[6]

For phase wise construction works, the line was divided in two packages C4A and C4B. The corridor 4A ran from Heelalige to Kaggadasapura while 4B from Channasandara to Rajanakunte.[7] The line is planned to be opened by March 2027 along with Mallige.[1]

Construction

[edit]

Between Benniganahalli and Kasturi Nagar, a 500-metre section of the Mallige Line was redesigned to share infrastructure with Blue Line (Namma Metro). Under this arrangement, the Kanaka line viaduct will run directly below the Namma Metro's Blue Line viaduct for approximately 500 metres adjacent to the Benniganahalli flyover.[8]
