With an aim to reduce the traffic congestion in Mumbai, BMC is looking to construct a 5.6-km-long elevated road that will connect the Eastern Freeway with Grant Road, as per Indian Express report. The plan of the municipality is to connect South Mumbai with arterial roads
Importantly, the plan is to connect the Eastern Freeway in the eastern suburbs’ Chembur with South Mumbai’s PD Mello Road. Ever since it was opened for commuters in 2014, the highway has helped in bringing down the congestion significantly between the southern and eastern sides of the city. However, the congestion starts increasing at the end of the PD Mello Road as there are no additional road for vehicles to move further
