The Mumbai- Chennai route will be finally doubled by August with Central Railway (CR) operating a special traffic block starting July 30,2022.
CR announced this block for non-interlocking works in connection with commissioning of double line between Bhigwan and Washimbe in Daund – Kurudwadi section of Solapur Division.
With the completion of this final stretch of 28.5-km long Bhigwan – Washimbe section, the Mumbai -Chennai route will be fully doubled.
This section has several rock cuttings besides several bridges on the Bhima river and its backwaters. Simultaneously, route electrification is also on.
