A key feature of this route is its overlapping alignment with the Red Line (Line 5) between Porur Junction and Alwarthiru Nagar, enhancing connectivity within the metro network. Currently under construction, this stretch is expected to significantly reduce travel time, improve inter-city connectivity, and help decongest the city's already burdened traffic routes.
