PM is likely to open two new MMRDA road projects in Mumbai

During his visit to the city to officially open two brand-new Vande Bharat Express trains for Shirdi and Solapur, respectively, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to dedicate the Santacruz Chembur Link Road (SCLR) Extension bridge as well as the Kurar underpass. The Mumbai Metropolitian Region Development Authority (MMRDA) managed both of the road projects.

MMRDA and the Railway Department met to discuss the specifics of these two projects. They have added that Modi is likely to launch the newly constructed projects via digital platform from platform number 18 of CSMT station if everything goes according to plan.

MMRDA states that only a portion of the 3.8-kilometer-long SCLR Extension bridge, which begins near Kapadia Junction and ends near Vakola Junction on the Western Express Highway (WEH), will be open to traffic. The total cost of the SCLR project is estimated to be around Rs 4150 million. Due to permission for land from the Ministry of Defense (MoD), the project was delayed. The project started in 2017, and MMRDA is set to partially open the bridge to traffic after nearly five years.

Kurar Village Pedestrians and Vehicular Subway, Dindoshi, Malad, on WEH, was recently constructed and widened by MMRDA. The new underpass, which cost about Rs 250 million to build, is expected to relieve commuters of traffic congestion once it opens to traffic. The PM had previously unveiled two MMRDA-constructed Metro Lines, 2A and 7, in January.
