Amra Marg Coastal Road and Navi Mumbai Coastal Road Network
The proposed Amra Marg Coastal Road is designed as a crucial connecting corridor within the wider Navi Mumbai Coastal Road Network. Developed by CIDCO, the network comprises multiple coastal links to create a high-speed bypass along the Panvel Creek shoreline, bridging the gap between Belapur, Ulwe, JNPT, and the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA).
By connecting the Belapur node with the main CIDCO Coastal Road corridor at Amra Marg, this project provides a unified transit link for airport-bound travelers and container cargo traffic. It integrates seamlessly with key regional crossings, including the Atal Setu (MTHL) at Ulwe and the major freight lines at JNPT. Once fully completed, this network will establish a continuous, high-volume coastal expressway from Mumbai and Navi Mumbai deep into the industrial zones of Raigad.
The Amra Marg Coastal Road is a proposed coastal expressway link connecting Belapur with the Amra Marg / JNPT Highway corridor in Navi Mumbai. Managed by CIDCO, it is designed to optimize container and passenger traffic flow around the Panvel Creek.
As of 2026, the project is in the planning and DPR design stage under CIDCO. Detailed environmental assessments for wetland zones are underway before construction bidding begins.
The road connects directly to Palm Beach Road and Belapur nodes on the north side, and terminates at the JNPT highway network on the south side, bypassing heavy local traffic in Ulwe.
The route map of the Amra Marg Coastal Road starts at Belapur (at the Palm Beach Road intersection), runs along the Panvel Creek shoreline, and terminates at the Amra Marg JNPT highway junction.
The Amra Marg Coastal Road provides direct arterial access to the airport approach network near Ulwe, allowing passengers and cargo coming from Thane and Belapur to reach Navi Mumbai International Airport seamlessly.
The Amra Marg Coastal Road acts as the northernmost segment of the proposed Navi Mumbai Coastal Road network, linking Belapur to the CIDCO Coastal Road section at Amra Marg, JNPT, and the Atal Setu corridor.
The Amra Marg Coastal Road refers to the Ulwe Coastal Road being developed by CIDCO in Navi Mumbai. The project is formally described as the coastal road from Amra Marg to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) junction, including an airport link. The six-lane corridor is intended to improve connectivity between Navi Mumbai, Atal Setu and Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The main Amra Marg Coastal Road route starts at Amra Marg near Belapur, runs along the Ulwe coastal corridor and terminates at the MTHL junction at Shivajinagar. A separate airport link provides connectivity toward Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The main road starts at Amra Marg after the Panvel Creek Bridge and ends at the MTHL junction at Shivajinagar in Ulwe. The associated airport link branches toward Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The Amra Marg Coastal Road alignment follows the coast of the Ulwe node from Amra Marg toward the MTHL junction. The route passes through environmentally sensitive CRZ areas, including mangrove and mangrove-buffer zones, which is why major portions have been designed with stilt or elevated construction.
The main Amra Marg to MTHL Coastal Road is 5.8 km long. The project also includes an airport link. CIDCO's CRZ documentation describes the airport link as about 1.2 km, while more recent project descriptions give approximately 0.903 km for the airport link. These should be treated as separate components rather than changing the 5.8 km length of the main coastal road.
The revised cost of the Ulwe Coastal Road project is approximately ₹1,591 crore. The cost increased from the earlier estimate of about ₹700 crore after the design was modified to use extensive stilt construction to address environmental and mangrove-related requirements.
No. The ₹912.28 crore figure refers to J. Kumar Infraprojects' contract for designing and constructing the section from chainage 2.9 km to 5.8 km at the MTHL junction. It should not be presented as the total cost of the entire Amra Marg Coastal Road project.
The alignment passes through coastal regulation zones and areas containing mangroves and mangrove buffers. To reduce disturbance to the coastal environment and maintain tidal-water flow, the project design was revised to use stilt or elevated construction through sensitive sections.
Yes. The Amra Marg–MTHL Coastal Road is under construction by CIDCO. The project was divided into phases after the design was modified for environmental clearance, with separate work covering the Amra Marg section, the remaining connection to the MTHL junction and the airport link.
The road is partially complete but has not yet been fully opened as a continuous corridor. CIDCO has been targeting completion of the remaining works by September 2026, with traffic expected to begin after the required construction and connectivity works are completed. The latest project reporting still describes the MTHL connection as under construction.
The latest project updates focus on completing the remaining Ulwe Coastal Road works and its connection to Atal Setu. Current reporting indicates that the road is targeted for completion by September 2026. The associated Atal Setu interchange and airport connectivity works are also important parts of achieving a seamless route to Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The Amra Marg Coastal Road will provide a direct connection from the Amra Marg side of Navi Mumbai to the MTHL junction at Shivajinagar, allowing traffic using Atal Setu to enter the Ulwe corridor. Its airport link then provides connectivity toward Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The road is intended to provide an additional high-capacity connection between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai through Atal Setu, while improving access to Navi Mumbai International Airport. It is also expected to distribute traffic away from existing congested routes and improve connectivity to the rapidly developing Ulwe and airport areas.
The project required coastal and forest-related approvals because its alignment passes through CRZ areas and mangrove zones. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change granted CRZ clearance subject to conditions including maintaining natural tidal-water flow to mangroves and complying with applicable environmental and forest-clearance requirements.
Yes, for the current project scope, the Amra Marg Coastal Road keyword refers to the Ulwe Coastal Road being developed by CIDCO. The official project documentation identifies it as the Coastal Road from Amra Marg to the MTHL junction, including the airport link. 'Ulwe Coastal Road' is the more commonly used project name.
