Kurla to Get Elevated Station as Railway Project Progresses
Imagine a new train station is being built above the ground in Kurla!
This project involves shifting train tracks to make room for a new elevated station.
During construction, trains will use a temporary track.
This new station will have three platforms, helping trains going different ways.
It will make the train services more reliable because it is less likely to flood during the monsoon.
This project should make the train rides more on time and easier to use.
The 5th and 6th line project and elevated Harbour Line station work is in progress at Kurla.
A mega block was conducted for track diversion between Kurla and Tilak Nagar stations.
Tracks are being shifted to make way for the new elevated station.
Harbour Line services will run on a temporary diversion during construction.
The new elevated station will have three platforms, and should improve punctuality.
