houzyy welcomes you to a groundbreaking development in Mumbai's transportation landscape. In a significant move spearheaded by local MP Manoj Kotak and executed by the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC), Phase-I of the Ghatkopar station upgrade has been successfully completed, marking a crucial step towards enhancing commuter experience.
The Ghatkopar Transformation:
The Ghatkopar station upgrade, a long-awaited endeavor, has materialized into a 12-meter-wide and 75-meter-long foot overbridge (FOB) accompanied by a 15-meter-wide and 47-meter-long deck. Unveiled by MP Manoj Kotak and MLA Parag Shah, this achievement is a testament to houzyy commitment to facilitating seamless connectivity.
Addressing Commuter Concerns:
Despite the celebratory atmosphere, commuters remain skeptical about the upgrade's impact, primarily due to the missing link with Mumbai Metro Blue Line 1 Ghatkopar station. The focus on the East side, rather than the West, has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the upgrade during peak hours.
Commuter Ankit Shah expressed, "The biggest difficulty faced by commuters at Ghatkopar railway station is the rush during peak hours on the main FOB, which connects with the Metro line." This sentiment echoes the need for direct connectivity to alleviate rush hour congestion.
Future Plans and Priorities:
Acknowledging the existing gap, MP Manoj Kotak emphasized the necessity of direct access to the Metro station. While Phase-II is underway, with completion scheduled as per the timeline, the priority remains ensuring seamless access to the Metro station.
"The real connectivity would be when there is direct access to the Metro station. I have issued directives to the railways to work on the access of this bridge and deck on priority," Kotak affirmed.
Infrastructure Enhancements:
The completed Phase-I introduces 3-meter-wide staircases on different platforms, central double-discharge staircases, and upcoming escalators on PF2/3 and PF4. An elevated booking office on the East deck, equipped with five booking counters, enhances the overall infrastructure at Ghatkopar station.
As houzyy stands at the forefront of real estate and community development, the Ghatkopar station upgrade aligns seamlessly with our vision for enhanced urban living. Stay tuned for further updates as Ghatkopar evolves into a commuter-friendly hub, reflecting our commitment to building better communities for all.
