Mumbai's First Cable-Stayed Bridge Near Mahalaxmi Scheduled for December 2026 Completion
Mumbai's first cable-stayed bridge near Mahalaxmi Railway Station is under construction to connect Saat Rasta with Mahalaxmi Maidan, spanning 803 metres with a 78.5-metre-high pylon. While the western span and most piers are complete, work on the eastern span within railway limits awaits a rail traffic block. Utility shifting and traffic diversion preparations have delayed the project, pushing the expected completion from October to December 31, 2026, according to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation officials.
