Overview
- MMRDA launched three 32-metre girders between Ram Mandir and Jogeshwari during an overnight Saturday–Sunday rail block that cleared 30 minutes ahead of schedule.
- Teams used a 600-ton crane with 500-ton units, Hydras, JCBs, and tower wagons, with about 110 staff on site to lift and place the spans with precision.
- The work happened over live Western Railway tracks, and officials said suburban services stayed largely unaffected because the operation ran inside a planned block.
- Project progress now stands at roughly 88% complete, and one critical railway span was installed in 95 minutes within a 190-minute window, reflecting tighter execution.
- Line 6 is a 14.5 km elevated east–west corridor with 13 stations linking areas from Lokhandwala to Vikhroli, with key tasks like railway crossings and the Kanjurmarg depot still due before commissioning.
