MMRDA Reports Rapid Progress on Atal Setu–Pune Expressway Link With February 2027 Target

The 7.35‑km, six‑lane connector is built as a signal‑free route to link the sea bridge to the expressway for faster access to the upcoming Navi Mumbai airport.

Overview

  • MMRDA, which on Tuesday shared a fresh update, said work is complete at 143 of 176 foundations and 141 piers along the corridor.
  • It also reported 88 pier caps installed and 653 of 830 precast girders finished, marking steady superstructure gains.
  • The project is a 7.35‑km, six‑lane elevated link between Atal Setu (the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link sea bridge) and the Mumbai–Pune Expressway via Chirle and Palaspe, designed to remove traffic signals.
  • At Palaspe near Panvel, crews are widening slip and service roads to improve traffic flow and prepare seamless tie‑ins to the expressway network.
  • MMRDA is holding to a February 2027 opening date, framing the link to speed trips to the Navi Mumbai International Airport and reduce delays for regular Mumbai–Pune travel.
