This 16.5 km-long corridor that will connect Andheri to Dahisar via the Western Express Highway.
The Andheri (E)-Dahisar (E) corridor, labelled as Metro VII, is expected to decongest the Western Express Highway significantly.

Both, Phase-I of Metro-II and Metro-VII are north-south corridors, unlike Metro-I, which criss-crossed over railway tracks and the Western Express Highway.

@Sunil,
But i read earlier that there were delays in getting the design approved from railway safety authority above the tracks for Metro I, which had added to the problem.

It is true Akhilesh.
Fortunately, they will not have to deal with this issue in these two projects.

I heard that the tender documents will be available from December 21. They are planning to execute the work in three packages to ensure timely completion of work. The three winning bidders will design and construct the entire corridor and 16 stations in 30 months.
