Kalyan East Gets ₹210 Crore Boost for Smoother Roads

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has sanctioned ₹210 crore for two major road infrastructure projects in Kalyan East, aimed at easing traffic congestion and improving regional connectivity.

The first project involves widening and cement concreting of the U-type road, with an estimated cost of ₹76 crore. The second project focuses on constructing a cement road along the Malang Road stretch, from Chetna School to Nevali Naka, with a sanctioned budget of ₹124 crore. Both projects, covering the Kalyan East and Kalyan Rural assembly constituencies, have received administrative approval from MMRDA, as confirmed by Kalyan MP Dr. Shrikant Shinde.

The tendering process is expected to begin shortly. Despite the U-type road’s proximity to Kalyan (E) railway station, its narrow width has been a long-standing cause of traffic congestion. Local residents have consistently demanded the road’s widening—particularly between Katemanivali, Siddharth Nagar, and Tisgaon Naka. With traffic volumes steadily increasing, officials emphasize the urgent need to upgrade the U-type road to facilitate smoother, more efficient mobility across the area.
