Mumbai authorities plan to appoint a separate contractor for the ₹1,722 crore Pali Hill connector to the Swatantryaveer Savarkar Sea Link, according to Anil Kumar Gaikwad, chief officer of the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC). The project aims to alleviate congestion on the narrow approach roads and congested two-lane road from the sea link toll plaza to Pali Hill, where motorists typically spend 20-30 minutes traveling the 2.6-km stretch.
The four-lane connector, stretching 3.55 km, will provide an alternative route for motorists, reducing pressure on existing roads. MSRDC submitted the proposal to the public works department on August 19, 2024, in response to the demand for improved traffic circulation around Bandra Fort and the sea link.
