MUMBAI: The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has completed work on building the viaduct on the entire 18.5km stretch of Metro 2A corridor between DN Nagar and Dahisar along the Link road.The Adarsh Nagar stretch near Oshiwara was the only missing link on this corridor where work had stalled for almost four years because of encroachments. On October 5, the I-girder was launched at Adarsh Nagar junction, ensuring that the missing link has been bridged. The 42-ton, 24m-long girder was erected in 30 minutes. MMRDA will now be able to lay tracks on this stretch.Metropolitan commissioner SVR Srinivas said, “We completed the rehabilitation process of over 40 families in four months and it took 10 days to launch this girder.” The Metro 2A is divided into Phase I and II.
