Mumbai's First Cable-Stayed Bridge Near Mahalaxmi Delayed to December 2026
Mumbai is constructing its first cable-stayed bridge near Mahalaxmi Railway Station to connect Saat Rasta with Mahalaxmi Maidan. The 803-metre-long bridge features a 78.5-metre-high pylon and spans 17.2 metres wide, with a wider section over railway tracks. While much of the western span and pillars are complete, work on the eastern span and five pillars awaits railway and traffic approvals. Utility-shifting has delayed the project, pushing the expected completion from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2026.
