Aiming to reduce the traffic congestion in Mumbai, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is looking to construct a 5.6-km-long elevated road that will connect the Eastern Freeway with Grant Road. The plan of the municipality is to connect South Mumbai with arterial roads. Importantly, the plan is to connect the Eastern Freeway in the eastern suburbs’ Chembur with South Mumbai’s PD Mello Road. As per reports, this travel time will reduce to 6-7 minutes, once the new road comes into being. It is further said that the traffic movement will further increase in the next few years after Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link Road (MTHL) is connected with the freeway, with not only vehicles from Mumbai but also from Navi Mumbai passing through. This traffic problem can be tackled after the new road comes into being. The total length of this road will be 5.6 km and the cost of the project is expected to be around Rs 743.28 crore. The BMC is expected to complete the project in three years.
