Mumbai Advances Borivali Bridge and Coastal Road Projects to Improve Connectivity
Mumbai is advancing infrastructure projects to improve connectivity and reduce traffic congestion in its western suburbs. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is constructing a Rs. 341.59 crore cable-stayed bridge in Borivali to link the Western Express Highway with Link Road, bypassing congested junctions. Concurrently, the BMC demolished 30 structures at the Borivali Connector to facilitate the Mumbai Coastal Road (North) project, a 20-km corridor aimed at cutting travel time and lowering emissions. Both projects are part of broader efforts to enhance urban mobility by 2028.
