Naigaon is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in the Suburbs of Western Mumbai. It consists of a scarce population but is one of the most emerging localities in Mumbai. Belonging to the Palghar district, Naigaon comes under the Taluka of Vasai.  

Over the years, a lot of development has taken place in Naigaon. But the creek between Naigaon and Bhayandar makes it very difficult for residents to connect to Bhayandar, Thane, and Mumbai City. The road route via Vasai is the only route and a very expensive one to travel. The project of Naigaon East-West flyover is a dream project for the residents of Naigaon.

Following would be the 5 advantages of the Naigaon East–West Flyover-

🚗 Easy Travel 🚗

With the east-west flyover, traveling will become very convenient not only for the residents of Naigaon but also for the ones residing at Vasai West. The travel time will reduce by an hour, which will save a lot of time while commuting. It will be a relief for people working in Thane, Mira-road, Borivali and also in the central and harbour sections, as they would be able to travel easily by road. Traveling to places like Mumbai, Thane, Daman, Gujarat, etc. will be very convenient.

🏥 In Case of Emergency 🏥

Though there has been a lot of development in many areas, Naigaon is still lagging behind in terms of good medical facilities. Due to very few good hospitals, people still depend on Mumbai hospitals for better facilities. But again, the travel time is the most crucial factor. In case of emergencies, the minimum time to reach a Mumbai hospital is 2 – 3 hours. With the Naigaon east-west bridge, the travel time will reduce by one hour. This will surely benefit patients in receiving the immediate and right treatment. It will be very convenient for those who have to undergo prolonged treatment, especially the ones undergoing chemotherapy, dialysis, etc

🚐 Increased Transportation 🚐

The Naigaon east-west flyover will surely elevate transportation in and around Naigaon. Many transport vehicles for people as well as goods have to come via Vasai east-west flyover. This includes extra fuel which is added to the transport charges. The Naigaon flyover will also help reduce the cost of products as the current rates include traveling charges too. People traveling by Ola & Uber would also benefit as the cost & time will reduce by almost 25-30 %. It would also help in starting bus services from Naigaon to Mumbai, which would ease the load on the local trains.

The Panju Island situated in the middle of the creek is another distinguished tourist place. It is spread over 600 acres of land dotted with huge salt pans and fishing boats. You need to take a ferry to reach the island as there are no other means of transport. During the Independence era, this island has given more than 21 freedom fighters from a population of mere 300 people at that time. A monument too is built in their memory.

Apart from the various resorts, you can also book private villas with swimming pool for weekends, holidays, parties, and for weddings. When you walk in the streets here, you get the Goa vibes.
