MMRDA to spend Rs.100 cr to strengthen NH-4 and SH-40

 The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has invited tenders to widen and strengthen the National Highway-4 and State Highway-40 at various key spots such as Sheel Phata, Palaspe Phata, Takka Colony, Kalamboli Junction and Khanda Colony. A 4-lane flyover will also be constructed on SH-40 at L&T Junction under the project. MMRDA will spend Rs.  54 crore for the 3.6 km long 6-lane road.
MMRDA has already constructed a flyover near Panvel ST Depot, which has reduced traffic congestion significantly in this stretch. “The new project which is to be completed in a year’s time will further reduce the traffic snarls and save precious fuel and time for the commuters,” said Dilip Kawathkar, Joint Project Director, MMRDA. The authority has also invited tenders to construct a 4-lane flyover at L&T Junction on Sheel Phata-Mahape Road on the State Highway 40. It will cost about Rs. 56 crore.
