Done and dusted! Highlighted by mid-day, pushed by local MP Manoj Kotak, initiated by Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and implemented by Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MVRC) with continuous follow-ups by this newspaper over the last four years, Phase-I of Ghatkopar station upgrade is finally complete and was opened to the public on Thursday morning. The completed work includes a 12-metre-wide and 75-metre-long foot overbridge (FOB) with multiple central staircases and a 15-metre-wide and 47-metre-long deck linked to the existing FOB.
The new bridge and deck at Ghatkopar station were opened with much fanfare by local MP Manoj Kotak and MLA Parag Shah as part of Phase-I. However, it is not directly linked to the Mumbai Metro Blue Line 1 Ghatkopar station. It focuses on the East side while the actual requirement has been on the West. A similar, wider deck with direct access to the Metro station will be built on the West side as part of Phase-II.
