CIDCO will develop two major coastal roads in Navi Mumbai to improve connectivity to the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA). The projects include the Kharghar–CBD Belapur Coastal Road and the Ulwe Coastal Road.

The Kharghar–CBD Belapur route, costing about Rs 10.20 billion, will span 9.678 km, of which 6.96 km will be newly built. It will link Sector 16 in Kharghar to the DPS Nerul area, connect to Palm Beach Road and include an interchange over the Sion–Panvel Expressway to ease travel towards NMIA. Peak-hour travel time is expected to reduce by half.

The Ulwe Coastal Road, costing around Rs 16 billion, will be a six-lane, 7-km corridor running along the coastline, along with a 903-metre elevated Airport Link Road. It will offer direct, signal-free access from the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) to NMIA, while also improving links to JNPT and the Special Economic Zone.

Both projects are part of the region’s broader infrastructure strategy designed to decongest traffic, support new development zones and strengthen last-mile access to the airport. Construction of the Kharghar corridor is planned to begin in early 2026, with completion targeted for 2028, while work on the Ulwe stretch is already progressing.
