Mumbai hasn’t witnessed completion of any major infrastructure projects in the last two-three years. So, don’t expect the city to shape-shift into Shanghai in 2013. But, in the coming months Mumbaikars can look forward to travelling in the country’s first monorail, using the city’s first metro train, and motorists will be able to burn rubber on the eastern freeway and fly over the Milan subway using the rail over-bridge (ROB) that’s likely to be ready by September. Here’s the blueprint:

Monorail
According to Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) Joint Project Director Dilip Kawathkar, “The civil work on the Wadala-Chembur phase II of monorail is nearing completion and work on four of the seven stations on the corridor is more than 90 per cent done.” It should be noted that the project has already missed its deadline, but MMRDA is confident that by August 2013 phase I will be operational.
