The Rs 1,100-crore elevated corridor project to ensure connectivity between the newly commissioned Mumbai Trans Harbour Sealink (MTHL) and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway will be completed by February 2027, according to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), which is implementing the project.

The project consist of two elevated corridors — one from the Chirle end of MTHL to Gavan Phata, and another from Palaspe Phata to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

The six-lane elevated corridor over the JNPT–Panvel National Highway (NH-348) will be constructed between Chirle and Gavan Phata, including the reconstruction of service roads. 

A similar six-lane elevated corridor will be built along the Old Mumbai-Pune National Highway (NH-48) in Raigad district, which will also include widening NH-48 to six lanes.

Dr Sanjay Mukherjee IAS, Metropolitan Commissioner of MMRDA, described the project as transformative, emphasising that it will reshape regional connectivity and ease traffic congestion, particularly on NH-348.
