Mumbai: Goregaon–Mulund Link Road Likely to Be Completed by 2028

The much-awaited Goregaon–Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project, aimed at strengthening east–west connectivity in Mumbai, is now expected to be completed by December 2028. The project is being executed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

Spanning approximately 12.2 kilometres, the corridor will directly link Goregaon in the western suburbs to Mulund in the eastern suburbs. Once operational, the road is expected to significantly reduce travel time between the two areas from nearly 90 minutes to about 20 minutes, offering major relief to commuters.

The GMLR project is being developed in multiple phases and includes the construction of flyovers, elevated roads, and interchanges. A key highlight of the project is a twin tunnel passing beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and the Aarey area, designed to streamline traffic movement and reduce congestion on existing east–west routes.

Although work is progressing on various components, delays in certain phases have led to the revised 2028 completion target. Civic officials maintain that once completed, the GMLR will play a crucial role in easing traffic pressure and improving connectivity across Mumbai’s suburban network.
