CIDCO planned and constructed railway stations, roads and public spaces in Navi Mumbai and developed nearby areas commercially.In 1973, the [[Vashi]] bridge was opened to the public for residents of [[Vashi]], [[CBD Belapur]] and [[Nerul]]. The Sion-Panvel Highway was built to reduce the time taken to travel from Sion to Panvel. Major changes took place only after 1990, with the commissioning of a wholesale agricultural produce market at Turbhe and the construction of a commuter railway line from Mankhurd to Vashi in May 1992. These developments caused a sudden growth in economic activities and population in Navi Mumbai.
