Although the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) project has been further delayed, the Worli-Sewri elevated road, which is meant for dispersal of the MTHL traffic to Western parts of the city, will be constructed as per the schedule.
In addition to connectivity to MTHL, MMRDA officials say, the elevated road will have additional ramps on D’Mello road so it will be used by motorists from the eastern parts of the city to reach the western side in case MTHL is delayed.
The 22.5 km MTHL is set to provide faster and shorter connectivity between the city and Navi Mumbai International Airport along with the highways going to Pune and Goa.
To provide smooth connectivity between the MTHL and western parts of the city, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) planned the 4.5 km Worli- Sewri elevated road, which will start in Narayan Hardikar Marg, Worli, and meet MTHL at its Sewri interchange near Sewri Railway Station. The elevated road will be constructed on cash contract, in which MMRDA will bear the project cost.
MMRDA has already invited tenders for the Rs.500 crore project and officials say the elevated road will be ready in four years.
