MUMBAI (Metro Rail News): The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority’s (MMRDA) two key projects are about to be finished, and the trials run will soon start. Construction on Line 2A (From Dahisar to DN Nagar) from Link Road and Line 7 (From Dahisar East to Andheri East) from the Western Express Highway is both almost complete. MMRDA stated that the two lines’ trial runs are anticipated to begin by October of this year.
By the end of December, the MMRDA intends to begin the final stage of commercial operations. The two lines intend to provide fast and efficient interchange with the suburban rail system and MRT system at Andheri, JVLR, and Dahisar as well as communication between the Western Express Highway, Metro Line 1 (Ghatkopar to Versova), and Metro Line 6 (Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli). The Dahisar-Andheri line aims to connect Central Mumbai with Northern Suburban Mumbai, as well as to give rail-based access to the National Park, SEEPZ, Mumbai International Airport (CSMIA), and other commercial and geographic attractions.
About 3 lakh people can use the two metro lines, which have 30 stops along the corridor. In order to offer continuous connection, the MMRDA is also constructing a foot overbridge at Goregoan station on Metro Line 7 that will connect to the railway stations in the western suburbs. A tender for the same will soon be announced by the MMRDA.
