MMRDA pushes ₹1.48 Lakh-cr infrastructure projects

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority has initiated infrastructure projects worth ₹1.48 lakh crore, Commissioner R A Rajeev, said adding that the agency is working towards decongesting Mumbai's roads and the investment amount also includes funds being spent on mega projects like Mumbai trans harbor link. In fact, the city has so many missing links where it is constructing flyovers and also working for the decongestion of the city at certain points like the latest BKC connector, which connects BKC to Sion Eastern Expressway and Kalanagar flyover. This connector by itself has reduced the time taken by people who are going from Bandra and BKC area to Thane and all by half an hour. All these connectors and missing links which are being joined are certainly going to ease the traffic in Mumbai. At the same time, the agency is also building 337 km of Metro lines of which it expects to inaugurate two lines of 35 km each.
