It is expected to reduce travel time, ease traffic congestion and provide smoother connectivity for daily commuters. 🚧 Airoli–Katai Freeway Project: Key Details 📍 Project Name: Airoli–Katai Naka Elevated Road Project 🏗️ Project Authority: Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) 🛣️ Total Length: Approximately 12.71 km 🚘 Road Configuration: Six lanes (3+3 lanes) ⛰️ Major Highlight: Twin tunnels beneath Parsik Hill 📅 Phase 1 & Phase 2: Reported target for opening by the end of October 2026 📅 Phase 3 Target: October 2028 ⏱️ Expected Travel Time Savings: Approximately 35–40 minutes, depending on the route and traffic conditions. Note: These details are based on reported project information and targets. Actual opening dates and travel-time savings may vary. 🛣️ Three Phases of the Airoli–Katai Project Phase 1: Thane–Belapur Road to NH-4 This section is approximately 3.43 km long and includes twin tunnels beneath Parsik Hill, along with elevated road sections. The tunnel section is approximately 1.69 km long. It is expected to improve connectivity around Mumbra, Mahape and Shilphata. Phase 2: Airoli to Thane–Belapur Road This section is approximately 2.57 km long. It will connect the Airoli end of the Mulund–Airoli Creek Bridge with Thane–Belapur Road, providing improved access to the new corridor.

The reported completion target is October 2028. Once all three phases are operational, commuters will benefit from improved connectivity along the Airoli–Katai Naka corridor. 💰 Airoli–Katai Freeway Project Budget The cost varies across the different phases and construction components. Phase 1: Approximately ₹237.55 crore for the relevant tunnel and road works. Phase 2: Approximately ₹275.90 crore for the elevated road works.
