The Maharashtra State government has recently granted administrative approval for a proposed 3.55km four-lane road, known as the Bandra Fort Connector, to be built near Bandra Fort and opposite Hotel Taj Lands End. This road aims to alleviate traffic congestion for commuters traveling towards the Taj Lands End, Bandra Fort, and Pali Hill areas from the under-construction Swatantryaveer Savarkar Sea Link, also referred to as the Versova-Bandra Sea Link.
The construction of the Bandra Fort Connector is set to be executed by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) as part of the ongoing sea link project. The project has received an estimated cost of Rs1,722.40 crore, which includes Rs1,183.79 crore for civil construction and associated provisions along with GST.
Currently, motorists traveling the approximately 2.6km stretch from the Sea Link toll plaza to Pali Hill often face traffic delays of 20 to 30 minutes due to the limited road capacity in the area. The proposed four-lane connector is expected to significantly enhance road capacity and improve traffic flow in the congested region.
