Elevated Road To Navi Mumbai international
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra government has also approved the construction of a 25-km-long elevated corridor that will link Thane with the upcoming Navi Mumbai international airport. Additionally, the state government has approved the underground Metro Line 11, which will run from the Wadala depot in Mumbai to the iconic Gateway of India.
The decisions were taken at a meeting of Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The panel cleared several major infrastructure projects aimed at boosting transport connectivity and urban development across key cities, including Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Nagpur.
A statement from CM office said Fadnavis hoped the initiatives would accelerate the state's development and modernise public transport systems.
The committee approved the construction of additional railway lines to strengthen the Pune-Lonavala corridor.
This will improve regional connectivity and ease traffic congestion in Pune, while also supporting industrial, residential, and commercial growth along the route, it said.
