The construction work on the two additional rail lines between Thane and Diva, which was suspended due to the lockdown, has been restarted at an investment of ₹503 crore. The work of forging a 100 ton steel bridge which will then be assembled at the site has also begun at Kota. The Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC), which is working on the project, has been collaborating with the state government and manufacturers and getting 100 ton steel from Kota. The railway already has 250 ton of steel for the bridge at Mumbra, informed MRVC chairman and managing director, R Khurana. The bridge was initially scheduled to be assembled by July and now the new deadline for the project has been set for June 2021. The 9km-stretch between Thane and Diva has four existing lines on to which six lines (DivaKalyan and Thane-Kurla Lokmanya Tilak Terminus) converge, creating a bottleneck that obstructs and delays local suburban and outstation trains and affecting their punctuality.
