De Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is van plan de reistijd tussen Mumbai en Pune te verkorten door de in aanbouw zijnde Mumbai Trans Harbor Link (MTHL) -weg te verbinden met de Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
MMRDA is looking for a consultant to prepare the detailed project report (DPR) of this project.
It has launched a tender to appoint a consultant for the project in question.
The consultant's work will be the preparation of DPR for the connectivity of MTHL to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and according to the basic plan, as the MTHL will be built in Chirle, Navi Mumbai, a 6 km link road will be connected to the motorway.
Now the commuters can reach Worli from Pune and vice versa by avoiding traffic jams. Their total travel time is reduced by more than an hour.
The Authority also plans to connect MTHL to National Highway (NH) 17, towards Bengaluru.
The MTHL project connects Mumbai's Sewri to Chirle in Navi Mumbai via a 21.8 km bridge over the sea. The estimated cost of this infrastructure project is Rs 18,000 crore.
