Mumbai: The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has expedited the work process of the Kalyan Ring Road Project, which is to be completed in eight phases. The Rs 2,186 crore project is being undertaken for commuters‘ Hassle-free travel between Dombivli and Titwala. The authorities have completed the work between Phase 4 and Phase 7 (Durgadi Bridge to SH 35-40 Road Junction) and the stretch is open for traffic.

During a recent meeting, Kalyan MP Dr Shrikant Shinde instructed the MMRDA officials to take up the remaining work on a war footing so that the entire 30.3 km stretch is open for people as soon as possible. He also instructed the officials to acquire the land required for the project as soon as possible. The meeting was attended by MMRDA Commissioner Dr Sanjay Mukherjee, Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) Commissioner Dr Indurani Jakhar and other officials who highlighted other issues pertaining to the project, to which Shinde asked them to come to a favourable conclusion.

Kalyan Ring Road project is an ambitious project being implemented to speed up traffic flow in urban and rural areas of Kalyan Lok Sabha constituency. This project has been conceptualized by MP Srikanth Shinde, which will give a new dimension to vehicular movement within the constituency.

“This project is being executed in eight phases, of which work on Phase 4 (Durgadi Bridge to Gandhare Bridge), Phase 5 (Gandhari Bridge to Manda Junction), Phase 6 (Manda Junction to Titwala Junction) and Phase 7 (Titwala Junction to SH 35-40 Road Junction) is 95 per cent complete and the remaining work is still under execution,” a senior MMRDA official said.

The official added, “Similarly, the work on Phase 3 (Motha Gaon Bridge to Govindwadi Road) will be completed by 2026 while the process of acquiring the land for Phase 1 (Hedutane to Shil Road) and Phase 2 (Shil Road to Mothagaon Bridge) will be completed soon so that the construction work can begin. Once completed, the 1-hour distance between Katai and Titwala will be reduced to just 15-20 minutes.”

The senior official also mentioned that heavy traffic will also be diverted via this route so that there will be less pressure on manoeuvring traffic in the city. The work on Phase 8 (Titwala SH 30-40 to Kalyan-Ahmednagar SH Goveli) will be completed as soon as possible. Of the total 5.86 km ring road, 3.58 km will be on surface and the remaining 2.28 km will be on stilts. The stilt section will run parallel to Ulhas Road, which has mangrove forests and wetlands, for which approvals from the Coastal Regulation Zone are required before construction can begin.
