Mumbai to get new metro lines 2A, 7: From route to price; here's everything you need to know
PM Modi is set to inaugurate the new lines of the Mumbai Metro tomorrow, which might cause some disruptions in the metro timings for commuters. The metro line 2A connects Dahisar East to DN Nagar in Andheri West, while line 7 connects Dahisar East to Gundavali, Andheri East.
FollowPrime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation of two of the much-anticipated metro lines in Mumbai on 19 January, at 6:30 pm IST. These two lines, which will connect Dahisar and Andheri, are Line 2A, the Yellow Line, and Line 7, the Red Line.
This 35 km long phase 2 of the Mumbai metro would serve millions of people of Mumbai, especially those in Western Mumbai. It would also help to lessen traffic on New Link Road and between Dahisar East and DN Nagar. Dahisar and Andheri West DN Nagar are connected by Line 2A and Dahisar East and Andheri East, respectively, by Line 7.
Both lines will have an interchange at the Dahisar metro station, thus passengers who want to proceed to DN Nagar and Andheri (East) must change here.
