The infrastructure layout of Mumbai’s suburban areas is carried out by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). Witnessing the potential of Mumbai’s far-flung localities like Virar, Panvel, Kalamboli, Uran and Mumbra, MMRDA has started its developmental plans in these areas. Flyover development and road connectivity schemes have been pumped with INR 1113 Crores to link Mumbra, Kalyan, Badlapur with Mumbai mainland.

Here are 5 advantages that Mumbai residents will enjoy once Mumbra is developed with impeccable road infrastructure and supporting amenities.

  1. By-pass crowded Sion-Panvel Highway

Despite the availability of a 4-lane Highway that connects Mumbai with Panvel,Five Infrastructure advantages of Mumbra Articles it remains a traffic bottleneck. The traffic coming from Ahmadabad or from Thane can bypass the Sion route and instead pick the Mumbra-Shilphata corridor to reach Panvel. In fact, NH4 connectivity will get a big boost once the road infrastructure develops in Mumbra, Karjat and Kalwa.

  1. Flyovers to avoid city traffic

Circles and inter-sections at Mumbra remain a huge issue. The road infrastructure development plan for Mubra includes construction of flyovers at important circles and inter-sections. They will be constructed around the major hospitals to save time in carrying patients through the traffic. It would prove to be a boon for the outstation vehicles who won’t have to pass through the city roads to reach their distant destinations like Pen, Raigad, Panvel, Goa or Pune.

  1. Boost to Industrial growth

Proximity of Mumbra to industrial areas around Taloja Panchanand, Panvel, Kalamboli, Kalyana and Bhiwandi makes Mumbra a choc-a-bloc route for commuters who travel daily through the town. On Friday’s, the roads are tough to penetrate owing to hawkers and hand cart sellers. Once the road infrastructure plan falls into its place, the hawker and local cart marketers would be relocated to the central market complex. It will also have separate lanes for trucks and cargo fleets so that the regular traffic of private vehicles and buses is not affected.

  1. Filling up of Potholes

Today, Mumbra roads are ranked among the worst in the city. The roads are riddled by multiple potholes and bumpy speed breakers. Some potholes have a depth of 1 foot often leading to biker’s fall and dent on car’s bumpers. MMRDA has taken a note of this grave issue and has started filling the potholes. It has also replaced the peaked speed breakers with graduated plane bumpers to ensure road safety.

  1. Demolition of illegal housings

Mumbra witnessed a huge population rise in the 90s, mostly due to the riots in different parts of Mumbai. Mumbra remains a hot spot as far as communal violence is concerned. The major bone of contention is the illegal constructions that have cropped in various parts of the city.

Due to the influx of population from Mumbai and North India, Mumbra is facing poor housing planning. Most complexes built along the road are illegal. Once the plan for road infrastructure development comes into the scene, the illegal structures would be demolished and the residents are likely to be rehabilitated to a safer location.
