Among the major infrastructure works by the Central Railway that have picked up pace amid the COVID-19 enforced lockdown is the construction of the remaining 14.60 km Kharkopar-Uran line of the 27 km Belapur-Seawoods-Uran project. The completion of this entire line will cut the distance between Mumbai and Uran by almost 40 to 50 per cent.

The speeding up of the project by the construction department of Central Railway will enable railways to complete this important accessibility rail route from Mumbai to Jawaharlal Nehru Port.
