Nahur station gets new FOB

Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation recently commissioned a 47-metre long and 6-meter wide new foot over bridge at the north end of Nahur station, which saw the connectivity starting from the east-west side of the station.

The new foot over bridge is constructed on the east side and connected to the existing foot over bridge on the west side.

"Earlier East-West connectivity was available only on the south end of the Nahur Station. At the north end, foot over the bridge was available only on the west side. After construction of this foot over bridge, east-west connectivity is available at both ends of the Nahur station," said Manoj Kotak, a Member of Parliament.
