This 6.92 km road will snake through Jesal Park-St. Tukaram Road-Indralok, Navghar to eventually emerge at the junction of National Highway-8 and Ghodbunder Road.
With an exponential increase in the population of Mira Road-Bhayander, there has also been a need to provide more and better connectivity within as well as to the highway. This is where the need to have Bhayander-Ghodbunder Road connectivity has arisen.
The proposed road, that is in the initial stages of planning, will be built as well as widened on certain stretches between Jesal Park in Bhayander and the junction of Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway-Ghodbunder Road. The segment of last 2 km on the Ghodbunder Road end will be widened, while the rest will have to be constructed afresh, elevated.
"Bids have been floated to appoint consultant for conducting feasibility study, soil investigations, preparing Detailed Project Report, estimates, etc," said M. S. Narkar, executive engineer of MMRDA.
This 6.92 km road will snake through Jesal Park-St. Tukaram Road-Indralok, Navghar to eventually emerge at the junction of National Highway-8 and Ghodbunder Road.
Out of the entire stretch, only 3.12 km does not fall under the Coastal Regulatory Zone, whereas, the balance segment will need the nod of Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) as well as Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) before the project takes off.
Although the initial estimates prepared, suggests that the project will require Rs80 crore as expenditure, but as the years progress, the final estimates will be much more as there's a likelihood of suggestion of this road being constructed on stilts to avoid destruction of mangroves between Jesal Park and Navghar.
As the project is in nascent stages of planning, authorities are yet to fix a deadline for it or even the timeline for implementation via tendering. The consultancy firm is expected to submit their report by the end of this year.
