Ulwe Coastal Road Total Distance
The Ulwe Coastal Road is a major infrastructural development project planned by CIDCO (City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra) to improve the access to the Navi Mumbai International Airport and Atal Setu.
Total Length of the Ulwe Coastal Road
| Sections | Length |
| Main Coastal Road Stretch | 5.8 kilometres |
| Airport Link Road | 0.903 kilometres |
| Total Connectivity Corridor | 6.7 kilometres |
The Main Coastal Road starts at Amra Marg, CBD Belapur, and stretches over the Ulwe coastline and ends at Shivaji Nagar interchange which connects to Atal Setu.
The Airport Link Road directly connects to the dedicated part of the Navi Mumbai International Airport. This link is crucial for the airport passengers and logistics.
At the end, the Ulwe Coastal Road connects at Shivaji Nagar Interchange and connects to Atal Setu which provides access to South Mumbai and other parts of Navi Mumbai.
The road has an elevated stretch of around 1.2 kilometres to cross mangrove-sensitive areas. It includes a Railway Overbridge over the Nerul-Uran rail line.
The Ulwe Coastal Road is designed as a six-lane road which has three lanes on each side divided into carriageways for high-speed and signal-free travel. The direct access to the Navi Mumbai International Airport and Atal Setu increases property demand in the nearby areas of the project.
Why Route Clarity Matters for Buyers & Investors
- Direct access to NMIA and Mumbai increases property value.
- Reduces traffic congestion due to thoughtful design of six lanes.
- Elevated section improves road condition during the rainy season.
- Atal Setu provides easy access to South Mumbai.
- Convenient for working professionals and businesses.
Ulwe Coastal Road Route Map
The Ulwe Coastal Road is thoughtfully designed and the route moves in the below order:
| Sequence | Connecting Points | Role of the Connecting Points |
| 1 | CBD Belapur (Amra Marg) | Entry point to Ulwe Coastal Road |
| 2 | Seawoods-Darave | Residential and Commercial zone |
| 3 | Ulwe | Emerging hotspot for real estate |
| 4 | Bamandongri | Near the railway station |
| 5 | Targhar | A developing locality of Navi Mumbai |
| 6 | Shivaji Nagar | End point Atal Setu interchange |
After the completion of the Ulwe Coastal Road, the traffic from South Mumbai via Atal Setu will have direct access to Ulwe. The airport traffic will avoid CBD Belapur internal roads and East-West vehicle movement will be smoother.
This will reduce the traffic congestion caused at Palm Beach Road, Nerul, Sion-Panvel Highway, and Belapur.

- Properties near Ulwe, Bamandongri, and Targhar will have direct access to the Navi Mumbai International Airport.
- Quick access to South Mumbai increases rental demand for those who want to reside in Navi Mumbai and work in Mumbai.
- Signal-free corridor improves daily commute.
- Infrastructure growth helps for long-term appreciation and steady growth.
Distance and Travel Time from Major Locations
The Ulwe Coastal Road will reduce the airport travel time by 15 to 50 minutes, depending on the exact location. For homebuyers and investors, this reduces commute time. It also increases residential demand, rental yield, and long-term capital appreciation.
