BMC Pushes for Faster Completion of GMLR Flyover to Ease Traffic

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has intensified efforts to expedite the construction of the Dindoshi-Goregaon-Dadasaheb Phalke Film City flyover, a critical component of the ambitious Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project aimed at enhancing connectivity between Mumbai’s eastern and western suburbs.

Officials have instructed contractors to operate in three shifts with additional manpower to accelerate the project’s progress and ensure smoother traffic flow.

The six-lane, 1,265-metre-long flyover, which is part of the 12.2-km GMLR, was inspected on March 6 to review ongoing work. The GMLR aims to significantly improve east-west connectivity and ease traffic congestion in the city.

A pivotal element of the project is the construction of twin underground tunnels spanning 4.7 km each from Dadasaheb Phalke Film City to Khindipada in Mulund. These tunnels will pass beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, promising to reduce travel time and alleviate congestion.

The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) for the project is expected to arrive in August. The BMC has requested the Film City management to allocate land for TBM equipment and directed officials to follow up on the availability of land. Additionally, an alternative road is being developed within Film City to facilitate construction activities.

Commenting on the urgency of the project, a BMC official stated, “We are committed to completing the project at the earliest by deploying additional manpower and working round the clock.”

The GMLR project, estimated to cost approximately around $725 million is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects aimed at decongesting Mumbai’s traffic and providing a seamless commuting experience for residents.
