Why Is GMLR Project Important?
- The 12.20 km Goregaon Mulund Link Road is the fourth east-west corridor of Mumbai and will help decongest the city’s northern suburbs.
- The project will slash the travel time between Goregaon and Mulund from 75 minutes to nearly 25 minutes.
- The entire project costs an estimated Rs 14,000 crore, with a full operational deadline of 2028.
- The most crucial feature of the project is the construction of twin tunnels, each approximately 4.7 km long, which will pass 20 to 160 metres beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP).
