Travelling to the urban area from Kalyan rural is hectic due to congestion on the city roads.

The municipal administration has approved the proposal of a ring road going out of the city to connect the rural areas including Kalyan-Dombivali and Titwala.

This ring road will be constructed through MMRDA.

However, the space required for this will have to be acquired by the municipal administration.

Since most of this ring road passes along the creek shore, it falls into the CRZ area.
