A study of the possible entry-exit points for the six-lane highway was conducted a few months back by multiple agencies, including the MMRDA, and is now being executed. As per initial plans, the highway, along with its 11-km-long tunnel will connect Thane at Manpada and Borivli near the Magathane BEST depot, drastically cutting down travel time. The tunnels will be drilled under the Sanjay Gandhi National Park using TBMs and each of the two tunnels will have three lanes for traffic and one for pedestrians.
