The BMC will be constructing 5 km long and 45 metres wide elevated road linking Dahisar and Bhayandar. The road will decongest Dahisar check naka by reducing 30-35 percent of its load. It will also create an another route to Mira- Bhayandar. The estimated cost of the project is around Rs. 3,186 crores and is expected to be complete by 2026.

Only one company responded to the tender first invited in June 2022. But on recommendations of consultant the BMC decided to construct a cable-stayed bridge above the creek. So the fresh tenders were invited in October with the deadline for submissions by November 17. It was then extended three times to December 2022, January 28, 2023 and February 3.

"Since it is a big project, we received some queries from the companies who wanted some time to study the project. It is a design-and-build project, so all difficulties need to be solved. We have extended the submission date till next Friday (February 17)," said deputy municipal commissioner Ulhas Mahale.

Currently, there are only two modes of connectivity to the Mira Bhayandar by the Western Express Highway and Western Railway lines. So there is always traffic jams on W.E. Highway, while Dahisar check naka also faces heavy traffic congestion. So the linking road project was in discussion from past 7 to 8 years. However due to engineering challenges the link remained unconstructed.
