GMLR Express: BMC Shifts Gears for Faster Completion.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has expedited work on the Dindoshi-Goregaon-Dadasaheb Phalke Film City flyover, a key component of the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR). Contractors have been instructed to operate in three shifts with additional manpower to accelerate completion and improve traffic flow.

During a site inspection on March 6, officials assessed progress on the six-lane, 1,265-meter-long flyover, a crucial part of the 12.2-km GMLR, aimed at enhancing connectivity between Mumbai’s eastern and western suburbs.

A significant aspect of the project involves constructing twin underground tunnels from Dadasaheb Phalke Film City to Khindipada in Mulund. Each 4.7-km tunnel will pass beneath Sanjay Gandhi National Park, easing congestion and reducing travel time.

The tunnel boring machine (TBM) is set to arrive in August, and Film City management has been asked to allocate land for TBM equipment. BMC officials are following up on land availability, while an alternative road is being developed within Film City to support construction activities.
