MRVC advances metro project with structure removal
In an effort to expedite construction work on the 5th and 6th lines between the Borivali and Virar metro stretch, the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has initiated the process of removing structures that obstruct the proposed alignment. Currently, the Indian Railways’ suburban network consists of four lines, from Churchgate to Mumbai Central and from Borivali to Virar, with a fifth line from Mumbai Central to Borivali and a sixth line between Khar and Goregaon. The sixth line is planned to be extended to Borivali in the next two years. The expansion project aims to effectively segregate mail-express and suburban section rail traffic between Mumbai Central and Virar, improving efficiency. This marks the first contract awarded for the project, executed under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP)-3A.
