Mumbai, March 14 Suburban train services on the Western Railway will be disrupted for four and a half hours on the night between Saturday and Sunday due to work on an overbridge at the Prabhadevi station, according to an official statement.
The block, scheduled from 1:30 am to 6 am, is being implemented to remove a girder from the Prabhadevi Road Overbridge (ROB).
Several local trains will be cancelled, shortened, or run in reverse from Dadar and Bandra stations, and no services will be available at Matunga Road and Mahim during this period, the Western Railway stated in a release.
The state authorities have dismantled the east-west connecting Prabhadevi road overbridge (ROB), also known as the Elphinstone ROB, to make way for the under-construction double-decker bridge outside the railway section.
Now, the cast iron portion over the railway lines of the Central and Western Railways is yet to be dismantled.
The release also stated that a large block will be implemented on the Up and Down fast lines between Borivali and Bhayandar stations from 12:15 am to 3:45 am on the night between Saturday and Sunday.
According to sources from the Western Railway, at least 45 suburban services are likely to be cancelled due to these blocks, and regular services might run late.
The block will also affect the schedule of mail and express trains, they said.
However, the last suburban local on Saturday night will run according to schedule.
