Once ready, it will be the city's tallest metro elevated line, with a height of 38 mt. Whereas, other Metro corridors are being built at an average of 16 mt from the ground.

The tallest station on the Metro 6 route will be Kanjurmarg, which will come up at a height of approximately 30 mt, an equivalent of a 10-storey building.

According to the MMRDA, nearly 50% of civil work has been attained so far. The Metro 6 corridor will be above the LBS Marg, JVLR and the upcoming Metro 4 (Wadala-Kasarvadavali) line that is 20 mt above the ground. Both these metro lines will have stations at the junction and be connected with a foot overbridge.
