Mumbai: Goregaon-Borivli harbour line tenders imminent

The Western Railway (WR) has made the decision to extend the harbour line by 8km from Goregaon to Borivli in two phases with a target completion deadline of 2027-28.

It was stated that the extension would aid in alleviating congestion in the Andheri-Borivli section, which is recognized as one of the most congested sections on WR. It was anticipated that tenders for the Rs 8.25-billion project would be issued in May, with work expected to commence around June 15.

The first phase would encompass a 2km stretch between Goregaon and Malad, with plans to open it by 2026-27. The subsequent phase would extend over 5km from Malad to Borivli and was projected to be completed by 2027-28. The harbour line currently operates between CSMT and Goregaon, with its last extension, from Andheri to Goregaon, having been completed in 2018.

Preliminary work, including geotechnical investigations, topographic surveys, infringement assessments, tree cutting, drone surveys, and obtaining details of existing structures, has been initiated by WR.

It was stated that a total of 1,900 sqm of land at 20 locations would need to be acquired, of which 1,740sqm was private land. The process of acquiring the private land had been initiated. Additionally, it was mentioned that 24 private buildings would be affected by the project five between Goregaon and Malad, 14 in Kandivli, and another five in Malad slums.

Due to space constraints, the station at Malad would be elevated. They added that this would be the only platform at such a height, while all other stations between Goregaon and Borivli would be at ground level.

The corridor was planned to have a ramp from the western side of the existing tracks after heading north of Goregaon. It was estimated that a flyover at Malad would cost around Rs 1.45 billion, while the elevated station there would likely cost Rs 650 million.
