Vikhroli

Vikhroli is a suburb of Mumbai (Bombay). The suburb has a railway station by the same name on the Central Railway line. The station was built just before India's independence in 1947 to cater to the needs of the sprawling Godrej Complex in the vicinity. The railway line runs through the suburb dividing it into two major parts (named the 'West' and the 'East'), like many other areas in Mumbai.

Kannamwar Nagar on the eastern side of the railway station is known for buildings built by MHADA. Mumbai's ex-mayor, Datta Dalvi, represented this area in BMC. For years, the Vikhroli telephone exchange covered the vast area network from Ghatkopar to Thane. A proposal for a bridge has been made, which is to be built over the Thane creek from Kannamwar Nagar off the eastern express highway to Kopar Khairane in Navi Mumbai, thereby providing a much needed third bridge linking Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
