MMRDA is exploring the plan for a bypass that would skirt Thane’s congested streets by cutting through parts of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SNGP). If constructed, it would be primarily of benefit to traffic moving between Mulund, Airoli, Chembur and onwards to Palghar and Gujarat.
The road plan
Starting point: Northernmost tip of Mulund at Shrinagar off LBS Road
Ending point: Gaimukh on the outskirts of Thane on Ghodbunder Road
Areas to be covered: The road would pass along the Yeour Hills, crossing Indira Nagar, Lokmanya Nagar, Upwan lake, Manpada, Dongaripada and Anand Nagar
