While the phase 2 of Mumbai Metro Line 2 and Line 7A are yet to commence, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has geared up for the civil work of elevated Metro line 6 (Swami Samarth Nagar--Jogeshwari--Vikhroli) passing from Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) and Eastern Express Highway (EEH).

According to the MMRDA, nearly 50 per cent of civil work has been attained so far. It has also come to light that once ready, it will be the city's tallest metro elevated line, with a height of 38 mt. While other Metro corridors are being built at an average of 16 mt from the ground.

Besides, the tallest station on this route will be Kanjurmarg, which will come up at a height of approx 30 mt, an equivalent of a 10-storey building.

It is pertinent to note that the Metro 6 corridor will be above the LBS Marg, JVLR and the upcoming Metro 4 (Wadala-Kasarvadavali) line that is 20 mt above the ground. Both these metro lines will have stations at the junction and be connected with a foot over bridge.
