Navi Mumbai Metro update


The Metro rail project being constructed by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) in Navi Mumbai between Belapur and Pendhar got a shot in the arm.
Engineers have started installing segments atop the pillars. The Rs 2,111-crore project to create a 11-km viaduct for the Metro was launched in May 2011.
“Our project has delayed by six months. However, we hope to complete the viaducts and stations by March 2014,” said Cidco managing director Tanaji Satre. “We hope to undertake the trial run by December 2014,” he added. “The work on seven stations has already begun. The construction of depots will start this month,” Satre said. According to planners, the Metro will be extended till Khandeshwar near the proposed Navi Mumbai airport in the next phase.
