With the new BKC-Chunabhatti flyover in place, the Central Railway (CR) now plans to check whether it is feasible to shut down one of the busiest level crossings at Chunabhatti station to speed up the movement of trains on the harbour line.

On a daily basis, the level crossing holds up a number of up and down trains, primarily during the peak traffic hours. As the harbour line has three consecutive level crossings at Sewri, Chunabhatti and Kurla (Chunabhatti being the busiest one), its closure will help save a lot of time and improve punctuality of trains.
