Ropeway connecting Gorai & Pagoda to Metro 2A put on hold
A ropeway project, connecting Gorai and Pagoda to the upcoming Mumbai Metro Line 2A (DN Nagar to Dahisar), has been put on hold for now by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). The MMRDA is the nodal agency for all elevated Metro corridors, including the ropeway project. At present, people have to take a ferry boat to reach Gorai and Pagoda.
“The ropeway project has been kept on the back burner,” said an official from MMRDA on Wednesday. The MMRDA had in February 2020 floated a tender for the 7.2-km ropeway, planned from Mahavir Nagar Metro station to Pagoda and from Pagoda to Gorai, having eight stations.
