The project is being implemented in collaboration between the Railway Construction and Civil Engineering departments and the sister company Eiffage Infra-Rail. The steel roof is being constructed by the Group&#8217;s sister company, SEH Engineering.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:17px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure
