Mumbai’s fourth suburban railway line between Belapur and Uran will be opened for passengers in September 2022. The Central Railway (CR), which is undertaking the construction of the second phase of the new suburban railway corridor Belapur-Uran railway project, announced on Wednesday.
The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) provided nearly 3km of land for construction of the project in September and construction of the corridor is ongoing. The zonal railway has completed 75% work on the railway line.
Once completed, the railway corridor will facilitate a direct commute between Mumbai and Uran and will connect to the new Navi Mumbai international airport and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT). The first phase of the project between Belapur and Kharkopar (12.5 km) railway stations started in November 2018.
