Vasai Bypass Rail Project Delayed Amid Land Survey and Mangrove Clearance Process
The Vasai Bypass rail project, a 5.73-km link connecting Western Railway and Konkan Railway, aims to reduce travel time by bypassing Vasai Road station. Estimated to cost around Rs 176 crore, the project requires clearing approximately 14 hectares of mangroves, with environmental clearances underway. While land acquisition proposals have been submitted, a crucial Joint Measurement Survey to determine land ownership and finalize acquisition is still pending, delaying progress despite completed mangrove marking and inspections.
