The rapid growth of the Eastern and Western suburbs of Greater Mumbai, an urgent need was felt for strengthening of the East West road connectivity. There is no East West connectivity developed from JVLR to Ghodundar road i.e. about 19 km length due to Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Alternatives have been examined but due to various constraints of PAPs in the proposed alignment along Aarey colony, L and T, IIT campus, significant land acquisition underneath Sanjay Gandhi National Park shall be the most desirable option as alignment along the periphery of SGNP will not serve the purpose of reducing travel time and travel length. Hence the project is recommended as it is public utility project for the benefit of the society.
