<div>The Andheri west station on Line 2A of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/mumbai-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Mumbai</strong></a> Metro is the last station of Phase 2 section and it is a three level single pier cantilever station, which consists of a Property Development Level, Concourse Level and Platform Level, the MMRDA said in a statement on Friday.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It said that the Andheri west station has three dedicated entry and exits, connecting both sides and footpaths of Link Road.<br /><br /></div>
<div>The additional concourse level was constructed at Andheri West Metro Station on Metro Line 2A which was called Property Development (PD) Level, which will help to increase the NFBR and forecasted to earn approx 70 lakhs per month non-fare box revenue to MMRDA, a press release said.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div>Andheri west station of Metro Line-2A is connected with D N Nagar station on Line-1 at two levels for seamless passenger movement between the two Metro lines.<br /><br /></div>
<div>This additional level has been provided to due to the fact that there already a running Metro Line i.e. Metro Line-1 just after the station location.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In order to cross Metro Line-1 safely the rail level of Metro Line-2A had to be increased by 22 meters above the road level, resulting in increased height of platform level 8 meters higher than usual platform height Therefore, to utilize the increased height, an additional level has been introduced.<br /><br /></div>

<div>The release further said that working on the linking road was a challenging part as the traffic and barricading permissions were to be taken in a phase-wise manner due to heavy traffic on the Link Road. Conducting an initial survey of location was a challenge in view of the dense traffic flow in Link road during the day time. This activity was a challenge as a large number of vehicles were parked on both sides during night hours. However, this activity could be undertaken at a slow pace under a lot of coordination and liaison work with <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/mumbai+traffic-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>traffic</strong></a> police.</div>

<div>"When the Metro Line 2A and 7 are commissioned, it will be serving Lakhs of passengers. Andheri station itself will serve approximately 30 thousand passengers. They will be using in peak direction daily as this station is connected with Line 1. It will also become a conjunction point for passenger travelling from Andheri (W) to either north or east direction. The travel time for passengers boarding from Dahisar to Goregaon section to Ghatkopar will be reduced significantly," said Metropolitan Commissioner, S. V. R. Srinivas.</div>
