The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is making the Detailed Project Report (DPR) to extend the Santa Cruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) right up to the Western Express Highway. The project will ease congestion at Imam Ahmed Raza Chowk in Kapadia Nagar as well as outside the University of Mumbai entrance in Kalina.
MMRDA was working on a plan to have an elevated road between Kurla and the Western Express Highway in Santa Cruz. As per the plan, a flyover and an underpass will be built.
The 3-km-long bridge is estimated to cost Rs 300 crore. The proposed underpass will assist in easing traffic movement between CST Road and Bandra-Kurla Complex. At an estimated cost of Rs 25 crore, the underpass will be 350 m long and 7.5 m wide.
