To ensure smooth traffic movement in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and cut down travel time between Goregaon and Airoli, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to construct a double-decker cable-stayed bridge, which also connects Nahur with Airoli.
Features of the double-decker bridge The double-decker flyover will be 1.6 km long and will run above and parallel to the freeway, connecting Nahur and Airoli. This flyover will be part of the larger 12.2 km-long Goregaon Mulund Link Road project (GMLR) - Mumbai civic body’s Rs 15,000 crore ambitious project that envisions a direct link between Mumbai's western and eastern suburbs in the MMR through a series of underground tunnels, flyovers, and bridges.
How will this project be beneficial? The bridge will originate near the Nahur railway station. The proposed flyover will provide a parallel link above the existing flyover, merging into the carriageway of the road near the Airoli toll plaza (Photo: Special arrangement) Vehicles coming from western suburbs via the underground tunnel can directly climb onto this bridge, without having to switch to the existing flyover between Nahur and Airoli, usually choked with traffic during peak hours.
