With a width of 23 metres, Mira Road station on Western Railway (WR) is set to get one of the city’s widest foot overbridges and an elevated deck connecting east and west. The station has one of the highest-growing passenger traffic, seeing a daily passenger footfall of 1,31,764.
Most of the stations on the Mumbai suburban section are more than 80 years old and highly congested as the volume of commuters has increased manifold since commissioning. Through this project, selected suburban stations will be upgraded to increase passenger handling capacity. An official stated that the foot overbridge cum elevated deck at Mira Road connects east to west.
