Mahalaxmi Bridge Construction Progresses in Mumbai
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is building a new bridge in South Mumbai called the Mahalaxmi cable-stayed bridge.
This bridge is important because it will help reduce traffic in the area.
Right now, the work on the bridge is 45% done.
The old bridge that is being replaced is very old and not in good condition.
The new bridge will be longer and wider, with four lanes for cars to drive on.
It will cost Rs 380 crore to build, and it is expected to be finished by December 2026.
The new bridge will make it easier for people to drive to the coastal road and will help make traffic in South Mumbai better.
The Mahalaxmi cable-stayed bridge in South Mumbai is 45% complete.
The bridge will replace the old, dilapidated east-west flyover.
The new bridge will be 740 meters long and 23 meters wide, with four vehicular lanes.
The project is expected to cost Rs 380 crore and be completed by December 2026.
The bridge aims to decongest traffic in South Mumbai and provide better connectivity to the coastal road.
