Construction work for connecting Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus’ (CSMT) old subway to Mumbai Metro Aqua Line 3 has started with barricades placed in front of the subway near the Canon entry point.  This will aid in seamless change of mode of transport with the subway being connected with underground pathway access with Aqua Line 3.

Mumbai Metro Line 3 integrates at eight locations with other suburban railway stations, Mumbai Metro line and other existing transport modes including the bus service and monorail service. It merges with Mumbai CSMT and Churchgate, two of Mumbai’s largest termini and also connects with the Grant Road and Mumbai Central railway stations. The Aqua Line is close to the MSRTC Dadar bus depot and the monorail at Mahalakshmi. It also is planned to integrate with Mumbai Metro Lines 1 and 2B.
