In a significant stride toward expanding Mumbai’s overburdened suburban rail network, the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has completed crucial infrastructure works on the Kalyan-Badlapur section during a night block earlier this week.

Between 2.15 am and 3.45 am on Friday-Saturday night, MRVC teams executed a series of complex operations — launching four girders for the MIDC road overbridge (ROB), five girders for the Ambernath (Kalyan-end) foot overbridge (FOB), and dismantling ageing structures, including the Badlapur FOB and Ambernath (Karjat-end) FOB spans. These high-precision tasks, completed within tight time frames, mark a crucial step in preparing the corridor for future capacity expansion.
