Mumbai Metro Line 6 Advances with Steel Girder Installation over Western Railway

Mumbai Metro Line 6, a 15.31 km elevated corridor linking Swami Samarth Nagar in Andheri to Vikhroli, has reached a critical construction phase with the installation of steel girders over the Western Railway near Jogeshwari. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) completed a complex 42-meter steel span weighing 168 tonnes during a 10-hour railway block without disrupting train services. This milestone advances the project toward easing congestion and improving east-west connectivity across Mumbai's suburbs.
