Mumbai: Commuters on both Central and Western Railway lines are likely to face disruptions this weekend as multiple traffic and power blocks have been scheduled across key sections for infrastructure works, including platform extensions and bridge demolition.
According to a tweet shared by DRM - Mumbai Central, WR, on the Western Railway, a block has been announced between Vasai Road and Virar in both up and down directions. The block will be operational from 12:15 am to 4:15 am on Sunday, leading to temporary suspension of train services on this section during the early morning hours.
Meanwhile, a significant operational disruption is also expected on the Western line due to the demolition of a railway flyover girder near Prabhadevi station.

During this time, local train services will not be available between Churchgate and Prabhadevi, with Matunga Road and Mahim stations also remaining non-operational for suburban services. Trains will terminate and turn back from Dadar or Bandra, while a few others will be cancelled.
