Khopta Bridge in Uran Reopens After Structural Restoration, Restores Key Port Link
The Khopta bridge in Uran, a vital 240-metre link to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority and nearby industrial areas, has reopened after nearly a year of structural restoration. Originally built in 1990 for light vehicles, the bridge faced deterioration due to increased commercial traffic and was closed in November 2025. The restoration, led by the Public Works Department, addressed significant structural damage, allowing the bridge to now support light and commercial vehicles up to 16 tonnes, easing congestion and improving connectivity for 25 local villages.
