Mumbai’s first urban underground road tunnel project set to tackle traffic woes
In a groundbreaking move to combat the ever-growing traffic congestion in South Mumbai, the city is embarking on its inaugural urban underground road tunnel project, connecting Orange Gate and Marine Drive. This monumental infrastructure development promises to alleviate traffic snarls and usher in seamless connectivity between the city’s eastern and western coasts via key routes like the Eastern Freeway, Mumbai Trans Harbour Sea Link (MTHL), Coastal Road, and the Bandra Worli Sealink.
