MMRDA Installs First Steel Segment on Bandra Cable-Stayed Bridge for Mumbai Metro Line 2B
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has installed the first 70-tonne steel segment of the Bandra cable-stayed railway bridge for Mumbai Metro Line 2B. This 200-metre bridge, spanning the Western Express Highway and Western Railway corridor near Bandra station, is a key part of the 23.6-km east-west metro corridor connecting D.N. Nagar with Mandale. The project includes 49 steel segments and two pylons, with substructure work completed. Construction will now advance to erecting the remaining steel superstructure without disrupting traffic or train services.
