CIDCO will construct a coastal highway in Navi Mumbai to connect the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. The project will cost over ₹700 crore and will take 24 months to complete. However, it will result in the destruction of 3,728 mangroves and 196 trees.
Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai town planning authority — City Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) — will soon construct a coastal highway from Amra Marg to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) in order to provide smooth connectivity to Navi Mumbai International Airport, which is expected to be ready by December 2024. Joint managing director of CIDCO Kailash Shinde said it will take at least 24 months for the project to be constructed. “The highway will stretch across seven kilometres and will connect the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) to the upcoming airport. The coastal highway will cost over ₹700 crore,’’ Shinde said.
