Mumbai Railways Face Major Disruptions Due to Mega Blocks for Bridge Reconstruction

Western and Central Railways implement multi-day night blocks affecting suburban and long-distance train services for critical infrastructure upgrades.

Western Railway's three-night mega block from January 24-26 focuses on bridge construction between Bandra and Mahim, causing significant disruptions to suburban and long-distance services.
Approximately 127 suburban train services were canceled on January 24-25, with 150 more cancellations expected on January 25-26, alongside several partial cancellations.
Central Railway has planned six-hour night blocks on January 25-26 near CSMT for the reconstruction of the Carnac Bridge, impacting both suburban and long-distance train operations.
Key stations such as Mahalaxmi, Lower Parel, and Khar Road on Western Railway's slow line will be skipped during the block, with alternative routes and schedules implemented to mitigate inconvenience.
Passengers are advised to plan their travel carefully as these essential upgrades aim to enhance safety and reliability across Mumbai's rail network.
