Mumbai: After securing the necessary environmental clearances and adding a new traffic arm linking the Coastal Road to Marve Road, the BMC has issued a fresh tender for the construction of two vehicular bridges. Additionally, work on a key vehicular bridge connecting Andheri and Malad is set to commence soon. Currently, lakhs of motorists commute daily between these areas, but the lack of direct connectivity leads to severe traffic congestion across the western suburbs, particularly during peak hours.

This new infrastructure is expected to ease traffic flow and reduce commute times. The project is estimated to cost around Rs. 2,200 crore and is slated for completion by 2028.

Details

The distance between Andheri and Malad is approximately 12 km, but these areas lack direct connectivity.
