Underground utilities are delaying the Mumbai metro rail project between Andheri (W) and Versova along Jai Prakash Road. The underground cables, water mains and sewer lines are nearly 100 years old and are buried nearly 30 feet below the ground.
Underground utilities are delaying the Mumbai metro rail project between Andheri (W) and Versova along Jai Prakash Road. The underground cables, water mains and sewer lines are nearly 100 years old and are buried nearly 30 feet below the ground.
Work at Manish Nagar in Andheri (W) was temporary halted after Mumbai Metro One Pvt. Ltd. (MMOPL) "executing the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor" struck a rusted sewer line damaging the flow.
An official from Reliance Infrastructure Ltd (RInfra) said, "Our utility mapping device didn't detect it as it is so deep. But we will restore the damaged network with the help of BMC within 4-5 days."
This, however, has severely affected the traffic movement in the area as vehicles are stuck for long durations.
