The route runs parallel to the Bassein Creek up to the Ulhas River. Along its 126 km alignment, it crosses major geographical features, including the , requiring the construction of 30 major bridges and a 4.75 km tunnel section. Phase 1: Navghar (Virar) to Balavali (NH-17) Length: 96.41 kilometers
Runs from Kolkhe parallel to NH-4B through Nandgaon and Chirle Gaon, terminating near the critical freight hubs at Chirner and Balavali. Phased Project Matrix
is notorious for its congested roads and overburdened railway lines. To decongest the existing infrastructure and spur economic growth along the coastal stretch, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has conceived one of its most ambitious projects to date: the Virar-Alibaug Multimodal Corridor (VAMC) . virar-alibaug multimodal corridor route map
Virar-Alibaug Multimodal Corridor (VAMC) is a 126 km long, 14-lane greenfield expressway designed to connect the Palghar, Thane, and Raigad districts within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Spearheaded by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) , it aims to cut travel time between Virar and Alibaug from four hours to roughly 75 minutes.
🏗️ Areas along the route—specifically Virar East, Kalyan, Dombivli, and Panvel —are poised for significant appreciation. This corridor opens up vast tracts of land for affordable housing near economic hubs. The route runs parallel to the Bassein Creek
The official MSRDC route map charts a path starting from Navghar (Vasai/Virar) on National Highway 48 (Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway) and terminating at Chowk near Alibaug. The alignment moves through the industrial and suburban hinterlands of the MMR to bypass central Mumbai's saturated road grid.
Approx. 96.4 km to 98.5 km stretch (primary construction phase). Phase 2 (Balavali to Alibaug): Remaining 29.9 km stretch. 💡 Key Technical Features 8 to 14-lane access-controlled expressway. Multimodal Nature: Includes a dedicated center path for Metro Line 14. Design Speed: Right of Way (RoW): 99 meters wide, accommodating service roads and utilities.
