The Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) has reached a significant milestone in its ongoing Metro projects with the successful completion of 3,603 pillars. The pillars are part of the planned 4,929 pillars across the six Metro lines in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Despite facing various challenges, the MMRDA's dedicated team has been working tirelessly to ensure the timely completion of all the metro corridors, an official press release said on Thursday.

Developing a metro system in a bustling city like Mumbai is no easy feat, given the heavy crowds and numerous uncertainties. However, the MMRDA is well-equipped to tackle these challenges head-on. The construction of the elevated metro, along with managing heavy traffic and other activities, is ongoing. To minimize disruption to public traffic and ensure safety, most of the metro construction work is carried out during nighttime hours, the statement said.
