Just over 100 m from Mumbai Metro to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport’s T2, thanks to new foot overbridge

Officials said the project was carried out without interfering with the other infrastructure constructions taking place in the area.

An MMRDA official said, “The bridge provides direct, seamless connectivity between Metro Line 3 and the airport. The reduced walking distance will surely make the travel experience much better for the passengers.”

With this connectivity, the walking distance for air passengers travelling via Mumbai Metro has been reduced from 450 m to 118 m. The passengers will also no longer have to cross roadways carrying heavy luggage, minimising the reliance on other vehicles.

The official added that the construction of the project posed various engineering problems as it needed to be constructed at a significant height above an active metro work area. “The engineers had to make meticulous planning so that there would be accuracy and safety at every step,” the official added.

Authorities said the foot overbridge will play a crucial role in improving last-mile connectivity for air travellers, especially as Mumbai Metro’s Line 3 has begun operations. “The plan was to merge two large transport systems without impacting the current projects,” the official further said.
