Mumbai Metro Line 3 Update: The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) is set to provide a major upgrade to the last-mile connectivity on Mumbai’s Metro Line 3 as the corporation has announced plans to construct new underground pedestrian subways at two key locations, including the BKC station and the Science Centre station.

These dedicated walkways will give commuters a safe, signal-free, and direct path to key destinations around both stations, aiming to reduce the chaos of crossing busy roads and surface-level congestion.
