A landmark engineering victory for MMRDA: the 2400mm Upper Vaitarna main water line has been expertly diverted for Metro Line 7A, from Dahisar to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. This success story propels the project forward, demonstrating unparalleled coordination in Mumbai’s bustling development scene.
As a cornerstone of the city’s water infrastructure, rerouting the pipeline was no small task, yet MMRDA managed it seamlessly within deadlines. Water supply resumed without significant hitches, though minor pressure dips were noted in isolated spots temporarily.
The feat was powered by tight-knit efforts with BMC entities like the Planning Division, Outside City Trunk Mains, Hydraulic Engineer’s team, and K/East Ward. Such partnerships are the backbone of timely mega-project delivery.
This line will slash travel times, linking key locales—Dahisar, Poisar, Akurli, Magathane—directly to the airport, easing Mumbai’s notorious jams. Post-diversion, intensified works on tunnels and stations will hasten completion.
Highlighted on X, the milestone underscores MMRDA’s finesse in resolving urban puzzles. It fuels optimism for superior transit options, blending innovation with reliability for everyday Mumbaikars.
