MMRDA to Build Elevated Road on Eastern Express Highway

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has announced the construction of an 8.24-km elevated road along the Eastern Express Highway, connecting Anand Nagar to Saket in Thane. The six-lane corridor, with three lanes in each direction, aims to decongest traffic by providing an alternative route for vehicles bypassing Thane.

"The elevated road will commence from Anand Nagar, within Mumbai’s limits, and extend up to the Kharegaon Toll Naka. The project has an estimated cost of Rs 21.88 billion and is expected to be completed in 48 months, including a 24-month defect liability period," a senior MMRDA official said.

A tree survey is underway to assess the environmental impact, though most of the project does not require clearance. However, a 120-meter-long section of the Kalwa Bridge needs approval, with the process currently in progress.

Once completed, the elevated road is expected to significantly ease congestion in Thane by diverting through-traffic, improving local movement, reducing travel time, and enhancing road safety. Authorities remain confident in balancing urban mobility needs with environmental concerns.
