Samruddhi Highway To Mumbai, Thane Travel To Get Smoother: Elevated Road To End Traffic Chaos
Vehicle owners traveling towards Mumbai via Samruddhi Highway will soon face less traffic congestion. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has decided to construct a 29-km elevated road, costing around Rs 6,000 crore.
Currently, vehicles travelling from Samruddhi Highway towards Bhiwandi and Thane face significant traffic snarls. The journey from Amne to Thane currently takes about one-and-a-half to two hours. Similarly, vehicles traveling from Thane towards Mumbai also face congestion.
To address this issue, the MMRDA has decided to extend the Eastern Freeway from Chhedanagar to Anandnagar. Additionally, an elevated road from Anandnagar to Saket is also being constructed. These projects will make the future travel from Saket to Mumbai faster and provide great relief to vehicle owners.
Samruddhi to Saket: 29 km
Saket to Anandnagar: 8.24 km
Anandnagar to Chhedanagar: 12.955 km
Chhedanagar to Fort: 18 km
The road between Chhedanagar and Anandnagar will be 40 m wide with six lanes, costing approximately Rs 2,683 crore. The elevated road from Anandnagar to Saket will also be 40 m wide with six lanes, costing Rs 1,874 crore.

Traffic expert Dr Shankar Vishwanath said the new road from Samruddhi Highway to Thane is important for connectivity. It will allow people to reach their destinations quickly and safely.
Social worker Santosh Daundkar said that vehicles traveling from Samruddhi Highway to Thane face significant issues. MMRDA's road will provide great relief from these problems. These projects are expected to not only reduce traffic congestion but also make daily travel between Mumbai and Thane faster, safer, and more comfortable.
