BMC Plans Rs 1,354 Crore Nahur-Airoli Double-Decker Bridge
The BMC is planning a new bridge between Nahur and Airoli in Mumbai.
It would be about 1.6 kilometres long and would run above and alongside an existing road connection.
Drivers coming through the planned Goregaon-Mulund Link Road tunnels could use it to reach Airoli.
The bridge is also meant to reduce pressure on the existing Nahur-Airoli route.
Four connecting ramps are planned for vehicles coming from Thane and Vashi.
The project is expected to cost about Rs 1,354.52 crore.
The BMC has asked VJTI to study the plan and check it.
The target is to finish the bridge by October 2030.
Officials say the Goregaon-to-Airoli trip could take less than 20 minutes once it is ready.
The BMC is planning a 1.6-km double-decker cable-stayed bridge between Nahur and Airoli.
The proposed bridge is estimated to cost Rs 1,354.52 crore and is planned as the final phase of the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road.
It would connect with the planned GMLR tunnel near Nahur and merge with a road near the Airoli toll plaza.
Four cloverleaf arms are planned to link traffic from Thane and Vashi to the GMLR tunnels.
The project is targeted for completion by October 2030; the BMC has appointed VJTI for a feasibility study and plan audit.
