The GMLR will consist of two tunnels, one 4.7 kilometers (2.9 miles) long and the other 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) long. The tunnels will run beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and Goregaon Film City, respectively. The remaining 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) of the road will be elevated via two six-lane flyovers. The road will be widened by over 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) to ensure smooth traffic movement.
The GMLR is expected to reduce the travel time between Mulund and Goregaon from 75 minutes to 20 minutes. It will also decongest the existing roads in the area, such as the WEH, EEH, and the LBS Marg.
