Maharashtra Approves Rs 17,725 Crore Metro Line 13 Connecting Mira-Bhayandar and Vasai-Virar
The Maharashtra Cabinet Infrastructure Committee has approved the Rs 17,724.99-crore Metro Line 13 project, aiming to connect Mira-Bhayandar and Vasai-Virar with a 25.03-km corridor featuring 16 stations. A key element is a 4.92-km integrated six-lane road and Metro bridge across Vasai Creek, reducing travel time by about 50% by eliminating a 32-km road detour. The line will include elevated and underground sections and integrate with suburban railway stations to enhance regional connectivity.
