Fadnavis and MMRDA officials travelled in a bus to the metro lines.
The CM also put the Metro-7 corridor -- Andheri(East) to Dahisar(East) stretch -- on the right track by launching its first U girder on Wednesday.
The Metro-7 is 16.5-km long elevated corridor with 14 stations. It will provide interconnectivity among the existing Western Express Highway, Western Railway, Metro Line 1 (Ghatkopar to Versova), the ongoing Metro Line 2A (Dahisar to D N Nagar) and the proposed Metro Line 6 (Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli).
The expansion of Mumbai Metro is expected to reduce the traffic volume on roads and local trains apart from boosting the local transit system.
