In what can be called an important achievement, the MMRDA has successfully launched a 51-metres long steel girder over the pillars of the Dahisar-D N Nagar Metro line 2A on New Link Road in Kandivli. The interesting part is that the alignment at the location where the girder has been launched, has a curve with a 700 metres radius, but the 51 mts steel girder is straight.

"The girder was launched successfully on Line 2A alignment between Mahavir Nagar and Shimpoli station. This is a special span of 51 mts in steel due to utilities between P265 and P266," said an MMRDA official. The normal span between two girders is 25 to 28 metres but this girder is almost double the size.
