Metro to Navi Mumbai
Today from times of India:
Parallel to the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link, MMRDA plans to have a Metro corridor to bridge the distance between Navi Mumbai's residential nodes and south Mumbai.
Officials say the addition of Metro tracks would bring travel time along the 22-km route down to 35 minutes.
According to the officials, the new design and the proposal would later be forwarded to the state cabinet for approval; once the plan gets the go-ahead, the tendering process would start.
The new Metro corridor will reach Belapur where it would meet the proposed Mankhurd-Panvel Metro Corridor. On Sewri side, the Metro would be attached to third Colaba-Bandra-Airport Metro line at Prabhadevi.
