Five ring roads are being built as part of a megacity inter-linking project to improve traffic flow and connectivity. The proposed Orange Gate tunnel will link the Freeway and Coastal Road at Marine Drive on the southernmost ring road. Mumbai will connect to Thane, Palghar, and Alibaug.

Southern Mumbai's new Eastern Freeway from Orange Gate to Grant Road will be built by the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai. Transport times and connections will be greatly reduced by this 5.5-kilometer corridor. Project completion is scheduled in three and a half years by J. Kumar Infra.

Tunnel Between Orange Gate at the Eastern Freeway and the Coastal Road at Marine Drive Should be a Reality Soon

In Mumbai, the BMC has issued bids for the building of an elevated road between Orange Gate (where the Eastern Freeway starts in south Mumbai) and Grant Road in February 2023.
