Integrated tunnel road project: MMRDA to prepare DPR for the project
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is all set to go for the 70-kilometre integrated tunnel road network in Mumbai. The authority has begun work on a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the proposed project.
The project would connect the Mumbai Coastal Road, the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), where the bullet train terminal is being built, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. In phase 1, work on the 16 km-long stretch would be done. This would connect the Worli Sea Link to BKC and the Airport, tying together the Coastal Road, the bullet train terminal, and the airport loop.
In phase 2, work on 10 km will be done on the east–west connector between the Eastern Express Highway (EEH) and WEH (Western Express Highway) to shorten cross-city commutes. Phase 3 will be the longest 44 km stretch, and it will be a north–south corridor running the length of the city to serve both passenger and goods traffic.
