And at the same time it is a good news for the areas such as Palghar, Kalyan, Ambarnath, Karjat and Kulgaon-Badlapur, where the metropolitan region has also received approval from the Authority to the road development work estimated at Rs 60.61 crore.
Well Vinu, The Authority provided administrative approval to the estimated expenditure of Rs 743.73 crore for the construction of 3 elevated roads to clear traffic disorder at Bandra-Kurla Complex and Santacruz-Chembur junctions. The 1.3-km elevated road running from MTNL junction to LBS Flyover and the 3.45-km elevated road from Kurla (Kapadia Nagar) to Vakola near Western Express Highway estimated Rs 480.63 crore will help clear SCLR junction.
Similarly another 1.9-km elevated road from Bharat Diamond Bourse in "G" Block to Vakola junction near Western Express Highway (Rs 263.09 crore) will help decongest BKC junction as the motorists will be able to reach Vakola straight from the "G" Block in the Bandra-Kurla Complex avoiding BKC junction.
Hi Santosh, It is also heard that the Authority gave lift to the Bandra-Kurla Complex by demarcating 20 Hectares of plot in "G Text" Block for an International Finance Service Centre and approving Rs 95.57 crore expenditure for this.
Right Kaushik, In order to afford smart status to the complex by making it wi-fi able and providing smart parking, integrated building monitoring system, command and control centre, energy efficient street lights, bus service etc. the authority has approved Rs 95.57 crore.
