19 Feb 2025 CW Team

The Virar-Dahanu Road quadrupling project, aimed at creating a dedicated corridor for suburban trains, has reached a key milestone, with 33% of the work completed. The Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) confirmed that all 31 project sheets have been approved, and critical approvals for major bridges, minor bridges, and other infrastructure have been secured.

The Rs 35.78 billion ($430 million) project will provide relief to suburban commuters by separating local trains from long-distance services, enhancing efficiency and capacity. It is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.

“Earthwork is ongoing, with significant progress made on minor and major bridge works. Notably, for Important Bridge No. 92, 536 piles, 45 pile caps, and 72 spans have already been completed. Work is progressing for Bridge No. 93, with piles and piers partially completed,” said a senior MRVC officer.

MRVC has successfully acquired 29.17 hectares of private land and 10.26 hectares of government land for the project. Construction of platforms, retaining walls, and station infrastructure is actively progressing across Virar, Vaitarna, Palghar, Boisar, and Dahanu Road.

“At Saphale, Kelve Road, and Palghar, the foundations for new facilities, including the extension of foot overbridges and platform retaining walls, are well underway. At Boisar, the development of a new goods depot and other essential infrastructure is progressing,” said an MRVC official.

With contracts awarded for station buildings, service buildings, and staff quarters at key stations, the project is steadily advancing to enhance Mumbai’s suburban railway network.
