The MMRDA further said that in addition to the 51.50 completion of work, the MMRDA has achieved 71 per cent via duct completion on the 15.31 km long Metro corridor of Metro line 6. Overall physical progress on this line is 66 per cent.
MMRDA is constructing a 15.31 km long Metro Line which will be operational between Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli (EEH) passing through Jogeshwari, WEH, and Powai in Mumbai. The major portion of the line will run through JVLR, an elevated corridor that will link the Western and Eastern Express Highways as well as the North-South and East-West regions of Mumbai. Metro line 6 will provide railway facilities to governmental, commercial, and geographically significant areas, the MMRDA said.

Integrated with several Metro Lines
Mumbai Metro line-6 connects with other metro lines line 2A, 3, 4 & 7 and has 13 stations. Furthermore, it connects to the Jogeshwari and Kanjurmarg suburban railways.
The MMRDA said, the combined 2.58 km long road flyover is to be constructed below this Metro Line at a common pier in the road median to provide additional transport facilities. The construction of metro depot for this line can potentially ensure its completion.
"MMRDA is constructing the Mumbai Metro network to provide mass rapid transit services to people within a short travel distance. Metro Line 6 will provide the much-needed rail-based connectivity between the western and eastern suburbs, and will contribute to an integrated public transport network for Mumbaikars," said S.V.R. Srinivas, Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA.
