Route 1, Dahisar- Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd and Route 2, Wadala- Ghatkopar-Thane- Kasarvadavli sectors respectively. Besides this it has also approved for construction of 4 new Flyovers on the Bandra Kurla Junction to ease the traffic congestion in this area. This was confirmed at the 136th meeting of MMRDA on  November 20.
