South Mumbai to Chembur in 15 mins via freeway

By the end of this month, commuter will be able to zip to Chembur from south Mumbai in about 15 minutes. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will open a portion of the Eastern Freeway from Orange Gate to Panjarpol. The remaining part up to Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road (GMLR) will be opened early next year.

This means not only signal-free and faster travel, but also less traffic on Ambedkar Road and PD’Mello Road. Motorists on their way to Chembur from Fort can access the freeway through a ramp near Orange Gate (Wadi Bunder) on the P D’Mello Road, while vehicles from the dock area can use another ramp near the Reay Road railway station.

There are two descending ramps at Wadi Bunder at about a distance of 200 metres. One ramp will take motorists heading to south Mumbai from Chembur directly to PD’Mello Road, while the other one will allow traffic to go directly to Wadi Bunder.

The 9.3-km elevated stretch from Orange Gate up to Anik Junction is a four-lane bitumen (tar) road, which has several sharp turns. The freeway becomes an eight-lane concrete road at the junction and runs at ground level for about 4.3km till Panjarpol.

Motorists are permitted to drive at maximum speed of 60kmph on the Orange Gate-Anik junction stretch, and at 80 kmph on the Anik Junction- Panjarpol stretch.
