BMC unveils six new elevated road corridors

Mumbai Municipal Corporation
The Mumbai Municipal Corporation has plans to build six new elevated roads connecting Southern Mumbai to Western suburbs. These roads are intended to improve connectivity between Borivali (East) and Andheri (East) as well as the areas of Madh, Marve, Manori and Malwani. Of the proposed six roads, four will connect Infinity Mall in Malad to Lagoon road near the Malad-Marve highway, Dharavali road in Madh creek, Oshiwara Link Road to the creek in Malad and Inorbit mall in Malad to Malwani. The other two will provide a link between Madh and Versova, as well as Marve and Manori. Currently, people commuting between Madh, Marve, Malvani, Andheri and Borivali, have to take the SV Road or Link Road up to Evershine Nagar and then connect to Malad; while those coming from Borivali to Manori have to travel via the Mira Road-Bhayander and Uttan. The new elevated roads are expected to ease traffic on the Link Road, SV Road and the western express highway from Andheri, Oshiwara and Malad and will also reduce travel time between Oshiwara and Madh by one hour during peak hours.
