In a significant boost to Mumbai–Thane connectivity, tenders have been issued for the improvement of the Bhandup Pumping Station junction, a crucial node on the Goregaon–Mulund Link Road (GMLR) corridor. The project aims to ease chronic congestion and enhance traffic flow in one of the eastern suburbs’ busiest transport stretches.

As part of the broader upgrade plan, authorities have proposed the construction of a new cable-stayed bridge connecting Nahur to Airoli, creating a high-capacity, signal-free link between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. The bridge is expected to play a vital role in improving east-west connectivity while reducing pressure on existing arterial roads.

What the Project Includes

• Junction redesign at Bhandup Pumping Station for smoother vehicular movement

• Integration with the Goregaon–Mulund Link Road (GMLR) network

• A modern cable-stayed bridge linking Nahur and Airoli

• Improved access between Mumbai’s eastern suburbs and Navi Mumbai

The proposed cable-stayed structure will feature modern engineering design, optimised ramp systems, and dedicated traffic lanes to support future traffic growth. Once completed, the project is expected to significantly cut travel time between key residential and commercial zones.

This infrastructure upgrade aligns with Mumbai’s long-term mobility vision, focusing on decongesting major junctions, improving cross-city movement, and strengthening connectivity with Navi Mumbai’s rapidly growing employment hubs.

Urban planners believe the project will not only enhance daily commuting efficiency but also add long-term value to surrounding residential and commercial developments along the corridor. Bhandup Pumping Station Junction Upgrade: Cable-Stayed Bridge Planned from Nahur to Airoli
