Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRCL) has begun preliminary work on the Metro 11 underground corridor which will connect Wadala to Regal Cinema.
MMRCL has successfully executed the 33.5 km Metro 3 corridor, and is now leading this project as well. The revised route is designed to serve high-density areas better than the previous alignment.
The route will connect Wadala to the Eastern waterfront, and will cross major railway lines, including the Harbour and Central Railway lines. It will pass through Byculla, Bhendi Bazar, Crawford Market, finally ending at SP Mukherjee Chowk (Regal Cinema Circle). The terminal at S P Mukherjee Chowk is expected to attract many commuters, including tourists visiting the Gateway of India.
The introduction of this Metro line will offer a more efficient and cost-effective transportation alternative, especially in congested areas like Nagpada and Bhendi Bazaar.
