Airoli is a residential suburb of Navi Mumbai. It is connected to Navi Mumbai's other developed neighborhoods like Vashi and Nerul with city bus services provided by BEST and NMMT and local train services(Trans-Harbour Railway line). One can reach Thane from Airoli in 8 minutes by train and Mulund in 20 minutes by city bus. Airoli is also accessible by Thane-Belapur Road(which later joins Mumbai-Pune Expressway) and the Eastern Express Highway.
The Mulund-Airoli bridge has contributed to Airoli's expansion in recent years, as Mulund is Mumbai's one of the busiest suburbs; train service is also available from Thane. The bridge also serves as a connection between Airoli and the Nahur station of the Central Railways. It is one of the only two bridges which connect Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, the other being the Vashi Bridge.
