Versova-Madh Bridge Approved to Cut Mumbai Travel Time to 10 Minutes
The Versova-Madh cable-stayed bridge in Mumbai's western suburbs will span 2.06 km over Malad Creek, providing a direct link between Versova and Madh. Approved by the Bombay High Court to proceed after clearing 1,237 mangroves, the project aims to reduce travel time from up to 1.5 hours to about 10 minutes. Construction by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is set to begin soon, with the bridge also improving access to the Mumbai Coastal Road and nearby areas.
