Sewri-Worli Elevated Connector Set to Revolutionize Mumbai’s Traffic Flow
Mumbai’s traffic landscape is poised for a major transformation with the upcoming Sewri-Worli Elevated Connector, an integral part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority’s (MMRDA) traffic dispersal strategy for Atal Setu. This 4.5 km, four-lane elevated corridor will provide a direct link between Atal Setu, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, and the Mumbai Coastal Road project, promising a smoother and faster commute across the city.
The connector is expected to significantly enhance connectivity, offering Navi Mumbai commuters a signal-free, time-saving route to Central and South Mumbai, as well as the western suburbs. With this seamless integration, approximately 15-20% more vehicular traffic from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the Mumbai Coastal Road is expected to flow onto Atal Setu, boosting toll revenue.

One of the engineering highlights of the project is the construction of a double-decker Road Over Bridge (ROB) at Prabhadevi Station, which will cross both Central and Western Railway lines. This structure will be built using an advanced Push-Pull method, ensuring maximum safety during the construction process.
Currently, 60% of the work on the connector has been completed. The primary challenge lies in assembling and erecting a massive 3,000 MT steel superstructure over active railway tracks while maintaining commuter safety.
Beyond infrastructure, this project aims to reduce commute times and enhance the efficiency of Mumbai’s transport network, making daily travel more convenient for thousands of commuters.
