Green Light for Madh-Versova Bridge: Faster Travel for Mumbai
Mumbai is getting a new bridge to make it super easy to travel between Madh Island and Versova!
Right now, it takes a long time, like an hour and a half, but this new bridge will make it just a quick 10-minute trip.
The bridge will cost a lot of money, about 2,395 crore, and will take about three years to build.
It will have four lanes for cars and will help people avoid traffic and get to Madh Island's beaches and fun places much faster.
The BMC has received environmental clearance for the Madh-Versova cable-stayed bridge.
The bridge will connect Madh Island to Versova, reducing travel time significantly.
The project is estimated to cost Rs 2,395 crore and is expected to be completed in 2028.
The bridge will be 27.5 meters wide, with four lanes.
The structure will minimize ecological damage to mangroves.
