Mumbai Metro Line 7A Construction Resumes Pending Final Airport Height Clearance
Construction of Mumbai Metro Line 7A's elevated section near the airport, halted due to a 2.5-metre height shortfall for overhead electric wires within the airport's flight path zone, has resumed. Mumbai International Airport Ltd found the extra height does not obstruct flights, and a final clearance from the Airports Authority of India is awaited. The issue arose from a design oversight by MMRDA's consultant, risking demolition of nearly 1 km of viaduct and a potential Rs 250 crore loss.
