New Corridor Linking Mumbai Trans Harbour Sealink And Mumbai-Pune Expressway To Be Ready By This Date

Mumbai-Pune Expressway: The two major elevated corridors are from the Chirle end of MTHL to Gavan Phata, and the other is from Palaspe Phata to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

The Mumbai exit at Panvel on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway will be closed for six months.

Mumbai-Pune Expressway: A ₹1,100 crore elevated corridor project will soon provide relief to commuters on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Sealink and Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) said the project will be completed by February 2027.

The two major elevated corridors are from the Chirle end of MTHL to Gavan Phata, and the other is from Palaspe Phata to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The project, which has begun, is expected to reduce the traffic between the major junctions and improve connectivity between Atal Setu and the Mumbai-Pune expressway.

Mumbai Exit On Mumbai-Pune Expressway To Remain Closed For Six Months

The Mumbai exit at Panvel on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway has been closed for six months starting February 11 due to construction work at Kalamboli Circle.

The road closure will impact all light and heavy vehicles travelling toward Panvel, Mumbra, and JNPT, as per traffic police. The restriction will remain in effect 24/7 to facilitate smooth construction and minimise congestion.

Alternative Routes To Take

For vehicles heading to Panvel, Goa, and JNPT from the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, traffic will be diverted at Konphata (9.6 km) onto NH-48 via Palaspe Circle.

For people travelling from Pune to Mumbai and heading toward Taloja, Kalyan, and Shilphata, commuters must continue straight from 1.2 km onto the Panvel-Sion Highway, take a right under the Purusharth Petrol Pump flyover, and follow the route via Roadpali and NH-48.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Navi Mumbai, Tirupati Kakade said the restriction order has been issued under the Motor Vehicles Act. "Once the project is completed, the traffic congestion at Kalamboli Circle will be significantly reduced," he added.
