Additionally, it has completed 71 percent of the viaduct on the 15.31-kilometer Metro corridor of Metro line 6. The MMRDA is building a 15.31-kilometer Metro line that will run from Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli (EEH), passing through Jogeshwari, WEH, and Powai. It will be operational. The elevated corridor known as JVLR, which will connect Mumbai's North-South and East-West regions with the Western and Eastern Express Highways, will comprise the majority of the line.

Railway services will be provided to governmental, commercial, and geographically significant areas by Metro Line 6.

To provide additional transportation options, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will construct a combined road flyover that will span 2.58 kilometers below the elevated Metro Line 6 (Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli) at a common pier in the road median.
