Revised design for underpass saves expenses to MMRDA

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has revised the design of a new underpass to provide signal-free connectivity between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and the Western Express Highway. The MMRDA claimed that the revision in design will do away with the need for land acquisition, which was necessary according to the old design. With the change in design, no land acquisition will be required. Previously, the acquisition of land was needed, which would have cost Rs 3.01 billion. According to the revised design, a new two-lane stretch will be constructed that will be partly on stilt and part of it will an underpass.
