Scope of work
The weekly brief metro & rail professionals read.
The selected contractor will construct a 278-metre-long foot over bridge connecting the Bandra Metro Station on Metro Line 2B with Bandra Suburban Railway Station. The project aims to provide a safe and convenient interchange for passengers travelling between the metro and Mumbai’s suburban rail network.
About the project
A skywalk earlier connected Bandra Railway Station (West) with the Lucky Hotel junction on SV Road. MMRDA later removed the structure to make way for the construction of Metro Line 2B.
The new foot over bridge will replace the old skywalk and restore pedestrian connectivity in the area. At the same time, it will create a direct link between the upcoming Bandra Metro Station and Bandra Railway Station, making transfers easier for thousands of daily commuters.
