Dr BR Ambedkar Station Vidhana Soudha       Railway

      Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Station Vidhana Soudha, Ambedkar Veedhi, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560001, India

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Stn., Vidhana Soudha is a station on the Purple Line of the Namma Metro in Bangalore, India. It was opened to the public on 30 April 2016.

The Dr B.R. Ambedkar station, Vidhana Soudha, like all other underground stations on the Purple Line, was built using the cut-and-cover method. The contract to construct the station was awarded to CEC-Soma-CICI Joint Venture. RITES was the lead consultant on the project. Construction of the station required a total work area that was about 320 m long and 48 meters wide. A total area of 133,000 sq m up to a depth of 18 meters had to be excavated to construct the station. The excavated soil could not be utilized in the construction process as it was mostly composed of rocky material. Instead, some of the fine quality soil obtained from the excavation at the Cubbon Park metro station, which had been stored on BRV Parade Grounds, was utilized. The fine soil was also obtained from other sources. The sand and smooth rock obtained from building tunnels were also used.
