Overview
- The link from Anand Nagar (Thane) to Chheda Nagar (Ghatkopar) is designed to cut South Mumbai–Thane travel to about 25–30 minutes and improve commute reliability.
- Interchanges span Mulund, Airoli, JVLR, Vikhroli, Kanjurmarg, Mankhurd and Ghatkopar, with a seamless tie-in to the Anand Nagar–Saket Elevated Road for Samruddhi Expressway access.
- A first-in-MMR single-pile, single-pier design will use 2.5-metre monopiles, 40-metre spans and 25-metre single-segment girders.
- Plans include ramps at Mulund Check Naka, Airoli and Vikhroli and a 3+3 lane elevated toll plaza near Navghar Flyover to manage traffic flows.
- MMRDA says alignment changes saved 127 Pink Trumpet trees and 4,175 compensatory saplings will be planted, with piling and pier casting underway after surveys and geotechnical work.
