The Kurla Subway will provide respite to pedestrians, who currently have to use the foot overbridge of Kurla railway station, which is crowded most of the time as commuters from both the Harbour and Central lines use it. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has completed the approach road to the subway while the finishing work inside the subway is still ongoing and is being carried out by the Railways. SO Kori, chief engineer (bridges) said, "The BMC has completed work on the approach road while the Railways is adding the final touches to the interior of the subway." The approach road to the western side of the subway is 13 metres long. According to residents, the subway will facilitate the movement of the elderly and children who find it difficult to climb the existing foot overbridge.
