New 6-lane Tilak Bridge in Mumbai
A new 6-lane bridge is being built in Mumbai to replace the old Tilak Bridge.
The old bridge, built in 1925, was declared unsafe in 2019.
The new bridge is almost 70% complete and is expected to open in April 2024.
The new bridge is being built next to the old one so that traffic can keep moving while the new bridge is being built.
Once the new bridge is ready, the old one will be taken down.
A new 6-lane cable-stayed bridge is being constructed in Mumbai to replace the century-old Tilak Bridge.
The new bridge is expected to be operational by April 2024, with construction progress at 70%.
The old Tilak Bridge, built in 1925, was declared unfit for use in 2019.
The new bridge is being built parallel to the old one to ensure uninterrupted traffic flow.
Once the new bridge opens, the old Tilak Bridge will be demolished.
