To improve passenger amenities, the Western Railway will rebuild Grant Road, Charni Road, Mahalaxmi and Dadar stations that see significant footfalls. Work is expected to begin before March 2022, said officials. The station buildings at these locations are old.
At Dadar station, officials said, a number of new inter-linked foot overbridges (FoB), many of them interconnected, have come up and have significantly upgraded the station connectivity. The old BMC FoB at the Churchgate-end is also being rebuilt, creating a bigger circulating area. The old, elevated ticket booking offices at the southern end has already been demolished. “The new station buildings at Dadar will incorporate these offices and other amenities for which the General Arrangement Drawings are under preparation,” said a WR official.

At Mahalaxmi, the elevated booking office, which was dilapidated, is being revamped. As part of this plan, a new station building will also come up. The BMC and the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation are separately rebuilding the old Mahalaxmi Road bridge with a cable-stayed bridge. The General Arrangement Drawings for this station are awaiting approval from the head office.
