The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is planning to connect an under construction Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) Road with the Mumbai-Pune Expressway to reduce the travel time between Mumbai and Pune.
The authority is now seeking a consultant, who will prepare a detailed project report of it and will decide on the suitable linkage for it. The plan was almost a decade old, however, it could not get implemented due to the delay in the MTHL.
According to the officials, a tender has been floated for the appointment of the consultant for “Preparation of DPR for connectivity of MTHL to Mumbai Pune Expressway and as per the basic plan as the MTHL will land into Chirle in Navi Mumbai, a 6 km of the link will be connected to the Expressway.”
