'''Chikhloli Station''' | |||
For commuters who live between the area of Ambernath & Badlapur faced hectic travel due to the long distance between both these stations. Chikhloli is the area between both the stations which went through development in these last 5years. To address the issue of commuters from Chikhloli; Dr. Shinde proposed the idea of a new station. The Railway Ministry approved the project and new station 'Chikhloli',<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-12-29|title=New halt station between Ambernath, Badlapur gets railway ministry nod|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/new-halt-station-between-ambernath-badlapur-gets-railway-ministry-nod/story-5eP4CD5F4ALuFSe29JySlK.html|access-date=2021-06-04|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref> which is expected to be completed in 2023.

'''Kalyan Yard Remodelling''' | |||

An ambitious project has been surveyed for two to four tracks of Kalyan, Kasara road and three tracks of Kalyan-Karjat road and other technical work. Construction of pedestrian bridges have been completed. Under this project major developmental changes at Kalyan Station will be done at a cost of Rs. 961 crore. It will include construction of 4 suburban tracks and six outstation train tracks. The remodelling of kalyan yard<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kalyan Station to be remodelled; local and outstation trains will be segregated|url=https://www.mumbailive.com/en/transport/kalyan-station-to-be-remodelled-local-and-outstation-trains-will-be-segregated-38992|access-date=2021-06-04|website=Mumbai Live|language=en}}</ref> is a part of Mumbai Urban Transport Project. Apart from tracks construction the project includes construction of a road overbridge near patripool, a rail flyover on the south-east side of the railway station. | |||
'''Construction of Bridges''' | |||

For this, Rs 428 crore was sanctioned for Kalwa-Airoli elevated link track. | |||
'''Patripool Rail Over Bridge (ROB)''' | |||
The 104-year-old Patripool bridge was demolished in an emergency after it was declared unsafe by IIT Bombay. Shutting down the bridge caused congestion on both the sides of cities. To complete the work of Patripool in a shorter period was a challenging task. Dr. Shinde and the officials from MSRDC worked extremely hard on this project. To make sure the public should not face difficulty in travel, the team decided to make the structure of this bridge at Hyderabad. | |||
Patripool has the longest 76m web link girder<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-11-22|title=First phase of Patripool RoB girder launched in Kalyan|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news/first-phase-of-patripool-rob-girder-launched-in-kalyan/story-yZUv68DJC8h4gjqEbLh6tO.html|access-date=2021-06-04|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref> in the entire Mumbai Metropolitan region, as per the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) officials. Apart from the longest web link girder, the bridge also has another girder of 33m. Usually, it takes eight months to build a girder but, in this case, Dr. Shinde and the team behind executing the plan considered the need for the bridge; the girders were built in two-three months to avoid congestion on the road. To place these girders on the location was one of toughest parts for the team. This bridge was one of the technically advanced bridges of Maharashtra. But an unexceptional team succeeded in placing these girders on the location. The work of the new Patripool Rail Over Bridge<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Jan 25|first1=Written bySagarika ChoudharySagarika Choudhary / Updated|last2=2021|last3=Ist|first3=11:53|title=Kalyan's Patri Pool bridge to finally open for public on Monday|url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/mumbai/other/good-news-kalyan-patri-pool-bridge-to-finally-open-for-public-on-monday/articleshow/80433486.cms|access-date=2021-06-04|website=Mumbai Mirror|language=en}}</ref>(ROB), completed on 25 January. | |||
