The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has come up with an idea to reduce traffic on the Western Express Highway—connecting Lokhandwala at Kurar to Malad hill reservoir and, eventually, the Goregaon Mulund Link Road (GMLR). The civic body has invited tenders to appoint a consultant to prepare a detailed project report for new connectivity between Lokhandwala and Malad reservoir on the eastern side of the Western suburbs.
The official from the civic road department, who is working on the project, said the stretch is marked in the Development Plan 2034. “We will develop this road via Malad Appa Pada. Also, there is a need for a bridge along the way that is 900 metres long. The consultant will suggest what type of bridge can be constructed or if there can be a tunnel. The road will be 18.2 metres wide. The consultant will draft a feasibility report as well as a project report. Also, a consultant will monitor the project, officially added.
