In a few days, Mumbai will get a second metro line to ease the commute for people travelling in the western suburbs of the city.
Almost eight years after the city got its first-ever 11.40 km elevated Metro line — one corridor connecting Ghatkopar-Andheri-Versova — two additional lines will be partially operational soon.
According to sources, the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) is constructing a 35-km stretch of two elevated Metro corridors – Line 2A between Dahisar and D N Nagar, and Line 7 between Dahisar East and Andheri East. The project has received a green signal from the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS). The CMRS started inspection on these two lines on February 20, and has given the go ahead for the commercial operation.
