Trivandrum | Trivandrum International Airport | TRV

Location Map

Here is an overview of where the proposed developments are taking shape.



The Yellow box (A) indicates the present terminal area, Terminal 1 and 2.

The Pink square is the site of the new terminal; it occupies a land area of 27 acres in Phase I. (B) The terminal lies just across the TS Canal (seen running parallel to the site) and directly accessible from the NH 47 Bypass Road.(E)

The Blue small square is Chakkai Jn on the Bypass.(C) A 6 lane flyover with two ramps, one connecting Chakkai and the other connecting Enchakkal Jn is under construction. The alignment of the flyover and approach road is denoted using the Brown line (D)

April 20th 2008, the erection of steel frame of the Terminal commences after the initial land filling and other ground works. This work, understandably, has taken one year. See this SSC post by Ajay.

Look at the size of the damn thing....!!!

We can get a sense of the massive size of the terminal by comparing the size of the giant main rib with the minuscule figures standing next to it.

^^^^ Whew, Ajay! This is a revelation! This structure seems to be as tall as a 5-6 storied building!! :nuts::nuts::nuts:The perspectives never gave the indication of this being so tall!

And the length also seems to be misleading..If there are 9 more frames to go in the first phase then the structure will already be bigger than the present T-1 of TIA!!:banana::banana:
