MMRDA mulls alternative route for Metro 9

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority is considering an alternative route for the Metro 9 corridor between Bhayandar and Uttan that will help save ₹500 crore. The existing plan envisages the metro line passing through three villages in the 5.5-km stretch while the alternative route will bypass the villages and help the planning authority save on construction, land acquisition and rehabilitation costs, said MMRDA sources. Around 900 families would have to be rehabilitated if this alignment is followed, and expenses related to land acquisition and rehabilitation would be ₹300 crore and ₹270 crore, respectively, said MMRDA officials. “The existing plan includes two stations between Bhayander and Uttan while the alternative plan envisages only one station, which would be accessible for residents of Rai, Murdha and Morva,” said the official quoted earlier.
