Residents of Mulund East are hoping for decongestion at the entry point from the Eastern Express Highway (EEH), with a proposal to develop a new road connecting the EEH to the junction of Tata Colony road and Rajashree Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj Marg, and the Kelkar college road to the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR).

At present, there is only one entry point from the EEH to Mulund via Navghar Road, which is prone to major traffic jams during peak hours. Former corporator Prabhakar Shinde submitted a proposal to civic chief Bhushan Gagrani last week about the alternative roads. “There is a possibility to develop another road from the EEH to the Tata Colony road and Dharmaveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Marg. There is only a 90-foot-long patch between this junction and the highway. The new link will decongest the Mulund entry point,” said Shinde.
