Mumbai: Palghar Road Overbridge Work Prompts Mega Block on Western Railway

Mumbai, 14th December 2023: Western Railway has scheduled a two-hour mega block on December 16 and 17, from 10 am to noon, to facilitate the dismantling of a steel girder for an overbridge construction at Palghar Road. The block will affect both the Up and Down Main Lines between the Umroli and Palghar stations in the Virar-Dahanu Road Section. This will result in the partial cancellation of six suburban trains, with two shuttle services being fully cancelled, and a dozen long-distance trains regulated en route.

Notably, the Bandra Terminus-Vapi Passenger Train and Vapi-Virar Shuttle train will be cancelled. Additionally, specific suburban trains will be short-terminated, resulting in partial cancellations. Commuters are advised to plan their travel accordingly due to these temporary changes and cancellations in the train schedule. Western Railway underscores the necessity of these measures for the progress of the Palghar Road overbridge construction project.
