Mumbai: In what would significantly boost infrastructure development in the Mumbai metropolitan region (MMR), Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari has sanctioned Rs 600 crore for Vasai-Virar in the far western suburbs of the financial capital of India.
As per plans, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway – which passes through the Vasai-Virar region in Palghar district – will be concretised and widened to 12 lanes – a 110-km phase between Dahisar and Talasari.
Besides, a 40-metre ring road within the corporation limits, and concretisation of the roads of five cities that connect from the highway among others, has also been given a thrust.
