The corridor is being developed in two primary phases.
The corridor acts as a "half ring road" connecting major suburban growth centers and key transportation arteries, passing through Palghar, Thane, and Raigad districts. Starting Point: Navghar (near Virar) on NH-48 (Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway). Key Intersections: Bhiwandi Bypass: Connects to NH-3 (Mumbai-Nashik Highway). Kalyan/Dombivli: Passes through key residential and industrial hubs. Intersects the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and JNPT Port Road. Atal Setu (MTHL): Connects to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link. Ending Point: Balavali near Alibaug (Raigad district). MagicBricks 🛠️ Project Phases & Construction

This southern leg transitions the heavy multi-modal traffic from the highway junctions down through Pen and into the coastal and tourist hub of Alibaug, finalizing the 126 km loop. Strategic Multi-Modal Connectivity
Balavali/Chowk (near Alibaug) in Raigad district. Atal Setu (MTHL): Connects to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link
The Virar-Alibaug Multimodal Corridor will have several features that make it a game-changer for transportation in Mumbai's western suburbs. Some of the key features include:
Critical for northern connectivity. Mumbai-Pune Expressway: Linked via the JNPT Spur. Atal Setu (MTHL): Providing a direct link to South Mumbai.
