| Project Detail : | In a first of its kind project in Mumbai metropolitan city, the construction work on a double-decker flyover is taking shape, as there will be a flyover for road traffic on the first deck and the Metro will run on the second one. The project, which is being constructed along Mumbai Metro Line 9 route between Dahisar and Mira Bhayander, involved an investment of ?6,607 crore. Also, for the first time, contractors have been using a straddle carrier which builds the bridge as it moves ahead. The 11.386-km-long line with 10 stations is an extension of Mumbai Metro Red Line 7, which runs between Andheri and Dahisar, part of which has been operational since April 2022. This line will be unique because it will run on a double-decker bridge. The flyover will start near the proposed Shivaji Chowk (Mira Road) Metro station and ends in Bhayander (West) via MiraBhayander Road. It will provide interconnectivity between the Western Express Highway, the Western Railway and the Mumbai Metro (Line 2 and Line 7), said an official spokesperson, explaining that between Kashigaon and Subhash Chandra Bose ground, there are three stretches of such double-decker viaducts on Kashimira Road, measuring 1.5 km, 1.1 km and 754 m for vehicles and metro trains
