New 100-m foot overbridge connects Mumbai Metro 3 to CSMIA Terminal 2

A newly inaugurated foot overbridge (FOB) now connects Mumbai Metro Line 3’s CSMIA–T2 station directly to Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, improving convenience for air travellers. The 100-metre bridge enables passengers to bypass city traffic and reach the check-in area swiftly. Previously, passengers had to walk 450 metres through traffic to access Terminal 2. With the new FOB in place, this distance has been cut to 118 metres.

• Length: 88 metres

• Width: 4.3 metres

• Height: 3 metres

• Elevation: 23 metres above ground

• Material: High-strength structural steel

• Position: Constructed above the ongoing Metro Line 7A works

• Connection point: Links directly to Lift Entry/Exit A1 at CSMIA–T2 station

The bridge eliminates the need for road crossings, providing a safer and more efficient route for passengers, especially those with luggage. It allows for uninterrupted access between the metro and the terminal, improving last-mile connectivity as Metro Line 3 begins full operations.

Officials highlighted the engineering challenges involved, including the need to construct the bridge at a significant height above active infrastructure work on Metro Line 7A. Precision planning ensured safety and structural integrity throughout construction, without disrupting other ongoing projects.
