Palava to Kalyan-Dombivli and other regions will be connected by 21 km flyover

\

The Maharahtra State Government recently gave its nod to the construction of a 21 km flyover that will start at Kalyan and become the first step towards building the Mumbai-Nagpur super highway.

This flyover, slated to be among the longest in the world, will make travelling from Palava to Kalyan, Dombivli, Bhiwandi, Ambernath and Mumbra faster.

The state government and the Centre have jointly decided to construct a six -lane Mumbai-Nagpur super -highway at a cost of more than 35,000 crore, which promises to facilitate travel between the two cities in 11 hours. The other fast track initiative includes the widening and improvement of the Bhiwandi-Kalyan-Shilphata road near phase 1 of Palava. The Bhiwandi-Kalyan Shilphata Road is one of the major links connecting the Mumbai-Pune Highway (NH 4) at Shilphata and the Mumbai Nashik Highway (NH3) at Bhiwandi. The road also provides continuity to the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway (NH8) through the Thane-Ghodbunder Road (SH42). The major cities or towns along the road include Kalyan, Dombivli and Bhiwandi. Pegged at 2,600 crore, development is expected to progress in two phases. Phase 1 will include widening the present two lane road into four lanes, and Phase 2 will include construction of the Kalyan Bypass, with a major bridge over the Ulhas river and flyover bridge over the Bhiwandi Bypass junction.
