MMRDA has commenced construction of the Elevated Eastern Freeway Extension, a 13.9 km, fully elevated 6-lane high-speed corridor that will dramatically reduce travel time between South Mumbai and Thane to 25–30 minutes, while easing daily congestion on the Eastern Express Highway (EEH)—one of Mumbai’s busiest arterial routes serving lakhs of commuters every day.

The corridor will run from Anand Nagar, Thane to Chheda Nagar, Ghatkopar, with key links at Mulund, Airoli, JVLR, Vikhroli, Kanjurmarg, Mankhurd and Ghatkopar.

In Thane, the corridor will merge seamlessly with the Anand Nagar–Saket Elevated Road near the erstwhile Mulund Octroi Naka, forming a continuous high-speed route. It will also provide seamless onward connectivity to the Samruddhi Expressway.

Once completed, the project will significantly improve traffic flow, lower emissions, and offer a faster, more reliable and greener commute to lakhs of citizens, while boosting economic activity across the MMR.

As part of MMRDA’s commitment to sustainable development, and in consultation with experts and green activists, the Vikhroli–Ghatkopar stretch was realigned to save 127 Pink Trumpet trees. A total of 4,175 new trees will be planted as compensatory green cover.

Key Highlights:

• Construction of 2.5 m diameter monopiles, robust piers, 40-m spans, and a 25-m single-segment superstructure
• Single-pile, single-pier system — first-of-its-kind for an elevated road in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR)
• Up–down ramps planned near Mulund Check Naka, Airoli Junction, and Vikhroli Junction
• 3+3 lane elevated toll plaza to be developed near Navghar Flyover
• Designed for uninterrupted, safe, and high-speed traffic movement

Status Update:

• Preliminary survey works completed
• Test piles completed
• Geotechnical investigation mostly completed
• Utility identification substantially completed
• Working piles and pier casting currently in progress

A faster, greener and more connected Mumbai Metropolitan Region is taking shape — one pillar at a time.
