The work was executed under challenging conditions, including persistent heavy rainfall, continuous traffic flow on the Andheri-Ghatkopar Link Road, and limited operational space due to the nearby Somaiya Nallah. To ensure smooth progress, MMRDA deployed additional resources, including cranes of 700-metric-ton and 500-metric-ton capacity, with backup cranes of 500-ton and 80-ton capacity.
More than 100 workers, engineers, and essential safety personnel were involved, supported by over 50 trained traffic management staff. Equipment deployed included six trailers, three Hydras, three Eicher trucks, three manlifters, and an ambulance stationed for emergencies.
The Wadala-Kasarvadavali Metro Line 4 project is currently 84.5% complete. The successful placement of this span represents not only a technical achievement but also a significant advancement towards improving connectivity and reducing travel time in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. MMRDA acknowledged the guidance and cooperation of government authorities and agencies, noting their essential role in the safe and efficient execution of the work.
