Changing City: Faster commute in Mumbai’s Borivali? New bridge in the works

Mumbai's western suburbs are set to get a new cable-stayed bridge in Borivali, with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) launching work to create a direct link between Western Express Highway and Link Road, enabling commuters to skip traffic and three congested junctions along Dattapada Road.

Pegged at Rs. 341.59 crore, the new flyover is also expected to give commuters direct access to the upcoming Mumbai Coastal Road Project (North) and the ambitious Thane-Borivali Twin Tunnel road. About the project Currently, the route linking Borivali West to the Western Eastern Highway near Dattapada Road takes commuters through three key junctions: Rajendra Nagar Junction, Dattapada Cross Road Junction, and the T Junction near Suswagat Hotel.

Changing City: Now, Goregaon-Airoli in 20 mins with Mumbai’s 1.6km-long double-decker bridge To cut travel time, BMC has planned a cable-stayed flyover that will let commuters bypass the junctions by providing seamless connectivity from Western Express Highway to General Kariappa Rail Over Bridge (ROB), which will eventually link to the Kora Kendra flyover and Link Road.
