Dahisar-Bhayander Link Road: What the Coastal Road's Northern Extension Means for Borivali, Dahisar and Mira-Bhayander

BMC cleared a Rs 3,304 crore, 5.6 km elevated road linking Dahisar and Bhayander as part of Coastal Road (North). Timeline, benefits and what buyers should consider.

Cars on Mumbai's coastal road with high-rise towers ahead

The Western Express Highway is the only real road north out of Mumbai's western suburbs. The Coastal Road (North) project is meant to add a second route along the coast, and its last link connects Dahisar to Bhayander.

The Dahisar-Bhayander Link Road (DBLR)

Detail	As reported, June 2026
Length	5.6 km elevated road, 45 m wide
Connects	Dahisar (West) and Bhayander (West)
Cost	Rs 3,304 crore
Construction period	42 months
Expected benefit	Cuts Versova-Bhayander travel by 30 to 45 minutes and eases the Western Express Highway
Status	BMC Standing Committee approved a project management consultant

Opposition corporators questioned why Mumbai taxpayers should bear the full cost and why the tender wasn't reissued with a single bidder left. The proposal passed by majority.

The wider corridor

Separately, the Bandra-Versova-Bhayander corridor has been reported as targeted for completion by December 2028. Large coastal projects often slip, so treat dates as targets.

A 42-month build means years of traffic diversions first. Buy for today's commute.

Who could benefit

Mira Road and Bhayander residents working in the western suburbs.
Dahisar and Borivali West, if traffic on the highway eases.
Andheri, Versova and Malad commuters heading north.

How to think about it

Expect construction first. 42 months of work means diversions near alignment points.
Don't pay a premium for a future road. Price flats on current commutes and amenities.
Check proximity to ramps and alignment before assuming a benefit, or a nuisance.
Combine with metro access. Metro Line 9 to Mira-Bhayander matters more for daily commuters without cars.
