Present Transport Scenario in Mumbai

11 million people travel daily by Public Transport (share of PT more than 90%) Many areas in city and suburbs are not served by rail system Suburban rail traffic increased by 6 times while the capacity increased by only 2.3 times 4500 passengers travel per train against the carrying capacity of 1750 resulting in unbearable overcrowding

DURI NG CONS TRUC TIO NAs stated in Para 1.0 above c constructtion of the superstructure of such long distance of viaducts has not only to meet the functional requirement but also to take c are of the-Site constraints such as - Allowing free flow of vehicular traffic on the already congested along with chosen alignment,

Paucity availability of land, Existence of charted and uncharted utilities, Problems to pedestrians, Problems to existing residents, and Environmenta limpac t including noise and vibration etc.Mitigation Measure s-To have minimum inconvenience to genera l public the following mitigation measures are required• Fully barricading the construction corridor,• Providing proper signage and lighting arrangement,• Completing the construction in a minimum time frame and in a time bound manner,• Good house keeping of the surrounding area, and• Raising the confidence of the public by adopting safety measures, caring for public attitude

ENVIRONMENT IMPAC T: At locations where pollution level h as already exceeded the permitted level or is on higher side, every construction activity needs very close scrutiny to ensure that there is no further environmental degradation. Planning for method of construction and type of materials used plays a very vital part in containing the adverse environmental impact.
