The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has achieved a key construction milestone on Metro Line 4 with the successful installation of three large steel spans at Bhandup West during overnight operations.

The spans, together weighing 325 metric tonnes, were launched using eight heavy-duty cranes and 12 multi-axle vehicles. The operation required precise engineering and meticulous planning to minimise disruption in the densely populated suburban area.

Due to effective inter-agency coordination, the work—originally scheduled across four nights—was completed within just two nights. Around 35 engineers, over 100 skilled workers, 70 traffic wardens and more than 25 police personnel were deployed to ensure smooth execution and public safety.

Metro Line 4, connecting Wadala to Kasarvadavali, is expected to significantly enhance east–west connectivity and reduce traffic congestion across Mumbai’s suburban corridors.
