History
In 2011, Nalla Sopara alone recorded a 25% increase in first-class commuters from the previous year.
Western Railways widened the platforms at the station in 2012. It created more space on the narrow fast-train platform 4 at Nalla Sopara, as well as at Mira Road, which is linked to the skywalk. The project cost about ₹72 lacs and the construction was completed in July 2012.[citation needed]
The extra space on platforms helped the railway deal with increased number of passengers due to longer trains, wider bridges and new skywalks.[3] The new bridge was built to provide passengers with another means of walking from platform to platform.
