BMC expedites ₹10,100.91-cr Goregaon-Mulund road project

The BMC has accelerated the construction of the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR), which is being built in four phases. The first two phases are expected to be completed by the end of 2023, at a cost of ₹1,060 crore, out of the total investment of ₹10,100.91 crore. Upon completion, the road is estimated to reduce travel time between Mulund and Goregaon to 20 minutes, providing relief from congestion on key routes like the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road, Andheri-Ghatkopar Link Road, and Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road.

The 65% completion of the widening of the GMLR in Mulund West and Goregaon East is underway, and the BMC has made a provision of ₹442 crore for the same in the current fiscal. The third phase of the project involves construction of an elevated rotary, a flyover at Ratnagiri Hotel junction, and a flyover at Hedgewar junction, all of which are slated to be completed by 2028. The fourth phase includes construction of a flyover at Airoli junction and an underpass across the WEH at Oberoi Mall in Goregaon East.
