Western Railway Plans 45-Day Rebuild of Bandra-Khar Flyover for Sixth Rail Line
Western Railway plans to rebuild the 45-year-old Bandra-Khar rail flyover in Mumbai within 45 days, halving the earlier 90-day shutdown estimate. This reconstruction is essential for completing the Mumbai Central-Borivali sixth railway line, a key capacity expansion under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project. Using precast construction and advanced engineering, the project aims to minimize commuter disruption during the shutdown, which will affect Harbour Line services. While most land acquisition is complete, challenges remain due to urban density and station modifications.
