MMRDA expands metro corridor

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA)
In view of the urban sprawl in satellite cities in and around Mumbai, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has now decided to have a Metro corridor connecting Vasai and Virar. With this corridor, commuters would be able to seamlessly travel between Virar and Churchgate and they would be benefitted with direct connectivity between the same by taking interchanging metro at Dahisar and Airport as at Dahisar, commuters can take the Dahisar east- Andheri east Metro-7 corridor and travel up to airport and from there, they can take the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 underground corridor, said UPS Madan, Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA, elaborating that the nodal agency will have to ultimately connect Vasai and Virar with Metro connectivity and not have metro only up to Bhayander. In this connection, the agency is preparing the detailed project report (DPR) for connecting the planned areas with metro services.
