== Proposed realignment ==
State government proposed for realigning the line via [[Kalyani Expressway]], instead of [[Barrackpore Trunk Road|B.T. Road]], due to the presence of arterial water pipelines, that supply water to the city, below BT Road. The construction might create huge traffic jam along the road and also damage the water pipelines, which will cutoff the city's water supply. This will increase the length to 17 km.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/west-bengal/barrackpore-metro-detour-to-kalyani/cid/1408534|title=Barrackpore Metro 'detour' to Kalyani|website=www.telegraphindia.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref>
