The trial run for phase-1 of Mumbai Metro Line 4 was successfully completed in Thane’s Gaimukh today. It is expected to be open for commuters by the end of this year.
Flagged by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the trial was conducted between Gaimukh and Vijay Garden.
The first phase of Line 4 includes 10 stations in Thane – Cadbury Junction, Majiwada, Kapurbawdi, Manpada, Tikuji-Ni-Wadi, Dongripada, Vijay garden, Kasarvadavli, Gowniwada, and Gaimukh.
This is part of 35.20-kilometre Metro Lines 4 and 4A which will connect Wadala, Ghatkopar and Mulund (via LBS Marg) in Mumbai to Gaimukh in Thane.
