In a significant advancement of its coastal road project, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) achieved a major milestone by loading a 2000 metric tonne, 136-meter span bowstring arch onto a barge at Mazgaon Dock Jetty (Nhava) on Sunday.
This prefabricated and pre-assembled structure is poised to create a vital link between the coastal road and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, aimed at easing southbound traffic congestion.
The completion of the connection between the southbound arm of the Coastal Road and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link is slated for April 17, effectively bridging a crucial gap in Mumbai’s coastal infrastructure.
Spanning 850 meters, the linkage between the coastal road’s Worli terminus and the sea link primarily comprises 270 meters of steel and the remaining portion constructed of concrete.
