About 85% work of the monorail phase II is completed and the launch could be held early next year.
Said an official: “The MMRDA has been expediting the phase-II corridor work of the monorail from Wadala to Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk corridor. The authority on Sunday launched three crucial spans over the Harbour line from Mumbai Port Trust Yard and Wadala. The task took four-and-a-half hours.“ All the three spans--measuring 34.74 m, 41.74 m and 40.24 min length--are 9.6 metres wide and the cumulative weight of the three spans is about 700 tonnes.
Said MMRDA joint project director (PR) Dilip Kawathkar: “This was indeed an arduous task considering the length and weight of the spans. However, the same was carried out with finesse. With most permissions and clearances in hand, we can expect the completion of the project sooner than later.“
Phase-I of the monorail corridor from Chembur to Wadala was launched in February 2014.
