Barricades installed along Link Road for the construction of the DN Nagar to Dahisar Metro-2A corridor are now being removed from several stretches on the alignment where the piers and girders for the Metro's construction have already been launched.
Officials from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), that is executing the construction on behalf of Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), have said that around 35 per cent of the civil construction work is complete on Link Road.
"We have completed civil works on several locations and there is no use in keeping them barricaded, hence we have started the exercise of removing barricades where girders and piers have been already launched," said an official from DMRC.
A majority of the civil construction work for Metro-2A has been completed between Borivali and Dahisar thanks to lesser volume of traffic in these areas as compared to Andheri, Goregaon and Malad.
The DMRC official added, "While for now barricades are being removed only on locations where work is almost complete, by the end of this year we are assuming that all the barricades on Link Road will be removed expect at some locations which are major junctions that are kept untouched yet."
"We have not barricaded major junctions on the Link Road as of now and these junctions will be barricaded only after majority of the Link Road is de-barricaded, and work will be carried out on war footing after junctions are barricaded to complete work in minimum days," added the DMRC official.
The MMRDA plans to proposed to construct a network of 172-km-long Metro corridor in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The Metro-2A corridor is a 18.5-km-long Metro corridor with an estimated ridership of more than 5 lakh when it start operating by 2020.
Currently, MMRDA targets to complete the civil construction work by January 2019 and make the Metro corridor operational by end of 2019 but it might get delayed due to coaches for the Metro being under manufacturing.
