No local train in the down direction (towards Bandra/Goregaon) will halt at Mahim harbour station for 15 days as authorities are working on removing a curve and increasing the speed of trains. After the curve is realigned, trains can run at 50 kmph on crossovers. Once this work is complete, work will begin on the up CSMT-bound platform.

“The work at Mahim involves relaxation of permanent speed restrictions to 50 kmph. For achieving the designed curve, the platform needs to be cut and extended in some parts. The track will need to be shifted by about 2 metres to attain the design degree of curve,” a senior official said.
