The Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) is meant to connect the Western Express Highway at Goregaon with the Eastern Express Highway at Mulund, cutting across one of Mumbai's slowest east-west journeys. It's a project many buyers in Goregaon, Powai and Mulund have been waiting on.

Where it stands

Length: about 12.2 km.
Design: four phases, including an elevated road, a major flyover and a twin-tube tunnel under Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Aarey.
Timeline: a March 2026 report said completion is now expected by 2028, with the combined timeline including the proposed Versova-Dahisar coastal road stretching to July 2029.
Progress reported then: about 48% of flyover work and 18% of tunnel excavation. BMC had earlier aimed to open the Dindoshi to Film City flyover section by 31 May 2026.

Check BMC updates for the current status, as timelines on large projects change.

A road that is two years away should not decide your price today.

What it could change

Area	Possible effect once complete
Goregaon East, Film City side	Faster access to the eastern suburbs
Powai and Kanjurmarg	Easier reach to Goregaon's offices and the western side
Mulund	A quicker route west without going through JVLR

For buyers

Don't pay for a 2028 road in 2026. Judge a flat on today's commute.
Expect disruption near construction zones for a while.
Check the exact alignment before assuming a benefit.

For landlords

Price rent on what tenants get today. Infrastructure that is years away rarely moves rent until it opens.
