The Central Railway’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus-Panvel fast corridor has hit a roadblock.
The Mumbai division of Central Railway, which would supervise the project, has stated that the project cannot be executed as it may cause frequent disruptions in suburban train operations.
The 48.3 km long CST-Panvel fast corridor was first proposed in the 2009-10 Railway Budget. It will be elevated for around 31 km of the route from south Mumbai to Vashi and for next 12.4 km it will run parallel to the existing lines.
The corridor will also require construction of a 4.3 km bridge over Thane creek.
