The city’s overburdened lifeline, the local train, could receive some relief as the state government has decided to introduce multi-modal railway corridors. Railway officials said that there will be a road network running parallel along the CST-Panvel and Bandra-Virar elevated rail lines. However, there is no clarity yet on whether there will be revision in the plans for elevated rail corridors to accommodate the road network as well.

The multi-modal corridor has been proposed to ease congestion on the overburdened central and western railway lines. Pic for representation
