Will the railway run underground after the metro in Mumbai?
Considerations on the Parel-CSMT route are underway
Mumbai Railway News: After the metro in Mumbai, efforts are being made to run the railway underground. The railway is trying to build an underground tunnel to build the fifth and sixth railway lines between Parel-Kari Road and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus on the Central Railway. If the Mumbai Metro can run underground, why not the railway? This is the thinking of the railway. If all the planning is done properly, Mumbai can get its first underground railway line.
The first phase of the fifth and sixth railway corridors on the Central Railway is currently underway from Kurla to Parel. After that, the second phase includes a 7.4 km route from Parel to CSMT. However, the railway faces a big challenge in this second phase of the project, such as land acquisition and rehabilitation of project-affected people. In view of these challenges, will the railway solve the problem by digging a tunnel underground? The railway is considering this.
If the route goes underground, all the problems will be solved and travel will also be easier. If Mumbai Metro can do it, why not Railways, is the argument of Railways. Hindustan Times has published a report on this.
Although this is an ambitious project of Railways, it is still in its initial stages. Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation and Central Railway have held meetings a few times. The plan for the proposed underground railway line has not even been prepared yet. Railway officials said that this second phase of the railway line will be 7.4 km long. We are still studying the feasibility of the underground railway.
It will also have to be checked whether land is available at CSMT and Parel for the entry and exit of tunnel boring machines. Two entrances are being considered for the proposed tunnel at the end of CSMT. One of them will be inside the terminus and the other near the terminus. Central Railway will also have to consider the underground CSMT station of Metro 3.
