This 11.8 km twin-tube tunnel will connect the Western Express Highway at Borivali to Thane Ghodbander Road, running beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. It will reduce the journey from Thane to Borivali by 12 km, saving approximately one hour of travel time.
Goregaon Mulund Link Road (GMLR) Project:
The Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for the Goregaon Mulund Link Road (GMLR) Project, which carries an estimated cost of over Rs 6,300 crore.

Kalyan Yard Remodelling and Gati Shakti Multi Modal Cargo Terminal:
In Navi Mumbai, PM Modi will launch the Kalyan Yard Remodelling and the Gati Shakti Multi Modal Cargo Terminal at Turbhe. The Kalyan Yard project will separate long-distance and suburban traffic, thereby increasing the yard's capacity to manage more trains and alleviating congestion. The Gati Shakti terminal, covering over 32,600 sq meters, is expected to enhance local employment opportunities and serve as an additional terminal for handling cement and other commodities.
Central Railway’s Enhancements:
Prime Minister Modi will dedicate new platforms at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and will extend platforms 10 and 11 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Station. These expansions will allow for longer trains, thereby increasing passenger capacity and improving overall operational efficiency.
Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana:
The Prime Minister will also introduce the Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana, with an investment of around Rs 5,600 crore. This internship program aims to combat youth unemployment by providing skill enhancement and industry exposure for individuals aged 18 to 30 years.
