In Mumbai, of the total 2050 KM roads, more than 1200 KM of roads are concretized or are in the process of being concretized. However, the remaining 850 KM roads are pain points making road travel a challenge. Modi will launch the road concretisation project for around 400 KM roads in Mumbai which will be developed for around Rs 6,100 crore. The concrete roads will ensure fast travel along with enhanced security.
Finally, Modi will also lay the foundation stone for redevelopment of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. This project to be done at Rs 1,800 crore will decongest the southern heritage node of the terminus, bring in better facilities and also aid in multi-modal integration while conserving and restoring the world famous iconic structure to its past glory.
