BMC Targets December 2027 Completion for Lokhandwala-Yari Road Bridge in Mumbai
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) aims to complete the Lokhandwala-Yari Road bridge by December 2027 after over two decades of delays caused by legal disputes and environmental clearances. The 206-metre bridge, featuring a 110-metre single-span steel basket-handle arch, will connect Yari Road, Panch Marg, and Versova with Lokhandwala and nearby areas. Expected to reduce travel time from 30 to 10 minutes, it will also serve as an alternative route alongside upcoming infrastructure projects like the Versova-Bandra Sea Link and Mumbai Coastal Road.
