UPMRC stated, “These underground stations of Agra Metro will be prepared with the top-down method i.e. construction work will be done from top to bottom. This system is being adopted to minimise the impact on traffic as the barricading on the road will be reduced after the construction of the first floor starting from the road level.

“The construction work of the station below the road will continue and the movement of vehicles on the road will also continue smoothly eventually.”
