The detailed project report (DPR) of the Uttan-Virar Sea Link is ready and it will be sent to the state government for approval, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) sources told mid-day.

Dr Sanjay Mukherjee, metropolitan commissioner, MMRDA, said, “The North Coastal Road from Versova to Virar is a transformative project that embodies our vision of ‘Mumbai in Minutes.’ By drastically reducing travel time to just 45 minutes, the 55-km Uttan-Virar (Phase-1) corridor will not only enhance north-south connectivity but also enable citizens to spend more quality time with their families. With its innovative design, including a 24-km sea link and multiple connectors, this project reflects our commitment to building infrastructure that truly serves the people of Mumbai and the wider metropolitan region.”
