Elevated Road to Link Parel and Haji Ali Proposed

A six-lane elevated road has been proposed in South Mumbai to connect Parel with Haji Ali, aiming to ease congestion across busy localities such as Dadar, Mahim, and Matunga.

The proposed corridor will link Senapati Bapat Marg—an arterial road serving major commercial hubs like Phoenix Mills and Kamla Mills—with Lala Lajpatrai Road near Haji Ali, where entry and exit points for the Mumbai Coastal Road already exist. The viaduct is projected to reduce peak-hour travel time by up to 30 minutes.

Currently, commuters travelling from Haji Ali to Dadar face a convoluted and congested route through Tardeo, Pedder Road, Bhulabhai Desai Road, or the Mumbai Coastal Road. Vehicles must pass through Worli Naka and navigate a circuitous route via Annie Besant Road, Pandurang Budhkar Marg, Nehru Science Centre Road, and Keshavrao Khadye Marg–Dr E Moses Road, circling the Mahalaxmi Racecourse and NSCI Dome.

Similarly, traffic from Dadar and Parel bound for southern Mumbai must take the same detour, leading to heavy congestion and extended travel times.

The 15-km viaduct will begin at the Coastal Road’s entry/exit point at Lala Lajpatrai Road, run along the Mahalaxmi Racecourse, and end at E Moses Road on Senapati Bapat Marg. It will improve connectivity to key roads like Gokhale Road, Lady Jamshed Road, Bhavani Shankar Road, and NM Joshi Marg, linking commuters to vital hubs including Shivaji Park, Siddhivinayak Temple, Mahim, and Lower Parel.

Estimated at Rs 3 billion, the project is expected to ease several of Mumbai’s critical traffic choke points.

According to the Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s office, the plan—drawn up in coordination with the Public Works Department (PWD)—seeks to enhance east-west and north-south connectivity within the city.

An official from the Urban Development Department confirmed that the elevated corridor would avoid any need for land acquisition and ensure uninterrupted traffic during construction. The implementing agency is yet to be finalised.
