In an attempt to reduce travel time between the Mumbai and its outskirts, a 1.7-km long twin-tunnel is being built by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority. Reportedly, the tunnel, which will be urban Maharashtra's longest one, will start from Kalyan Phata and end at Airoli. Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde stated that the twin-tunnel would have six lanes. Reportedly, the first phase of the construction is expected to be finished by September 2021.
