Orange Gate To Marine Drive In Minutes? Twin Tunnel To Be Ready By 2028
Traffic problems in South Mumbai may end in the coming years, as the government has asked officials to speed up the work on the twin tunnel project, as per a Times Now report. The 6.5-km twin tunnels will run from Orange Gate to Marine Drive. Once ready, these tunnels are expected to reduce travel time and ease traffic flow between Marine Drive and other parts of South Mumbai.
On Friday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis chaired a meeting to review the project. He told all departments involved to work with proper coordination and complete the project within a set time. As per a press release from the Chief Minister's Office, the target is to finish the project by December 2028.
The Chief Minister said that the tunnel is important for reducing traffic on P D'Mello Road and for giving a direct connection between the Eastern Freeway and Atal Setu. He added that early work like tunnel boring, land buying, and pile foundation is already in progress. A new technical plan has also been made after discussions with the traffic department.
He further asked officials to carry out planned improvements on SV Patel Road and Marine Drive to support the project.
Meanwhile, according to a Times of India report, a new 3-km road is also planned along the Marine Drive promenade. This road will link the Coastal Road and NCPA. It is expected to manage the rise in traffic after the twin tunnel opens. In future, this road may also connect to a proposed 1.7-km sea bridge from NCPA to Cuffe Parade.
These steps aim to improve traffic movement and give better road links to the people of South Mumbai in the coming years.
