The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation’s (MSRDC) plans of developing a 6km road between Juinagar and Kharghar below the Kharghar Hills to reduce the travel time between these two places have been put on hold due to lack of funds.
According to the MSRDC’s plan, a 1.8km-long tunnel would be developed under the Kharghar Hills. Then, a 2.5km-long elevated road would connect the Western end of the tunnel with the Sion-Panvel Highway outside Juinagar railway station.
Likewise, another 1.7km-long elevated road would connect the Eastern end of the tunnel with the road outside Central Park in Kharghar. The estimated budget for the project is ₹1,300Cr.
