Work on the much talked about Alibaug-Virar multimodal corridor will take off from the middle of 2020. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has announced that they will be starting work on phase one by this time frame. The total worth of this project is pegged at ₹12,975-crore.
The Virar-Alibaug corridor will be an eight-lane stretch and it will have separate lanes for metro and bus rapid transit system. According to MMRDA officials, the stretch will have 20 flyovers, 15 interchanges and 45 underpasses.
In the first phase, the work will start on the 23-km stretch between Navghar and Anjur, which is just the first part of this phase.
Coming back to the first phase, it includes the entire stretch between Virar and Balavali which includes 104 villages. MMRDA is in the process of acquiring more than 1,000 hectares of land there.” It is expected that once this project is completed it will decongest the traffic on this route phenomenally.
In addition to this, MMRDA has said that it will complete 40% of civil works for the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL) in 2020. MMRDA has also made some interesting announcement regarding the on-going Metro projects. They will have at least two operational lines in 2020.
