The construction of the bridge started on February 14, 2022
A new city icon is on the horizon as the old Reay Road bridge, which had been demolished, is now undergoing transformation into a sleek cable-stayed bridge over the harbour line. Progress on this ambitious project has been swift, with an impressive 45% completion achieved within 18 months. Barring any unforeseen delays due to the relocation of affected structures, the bridge is expected to be open to the public by March 2024, marking a remarkable achievement in completing such a sizeable road bridge over rail lines within a two-year timeframe in Mumbai.
The task of reconstructing Mumbai’s dilapidated British-era road over bridges was entrusted to the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC) by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Recognising the bustling traffic demands of Mumbai, MRIDC has strategically planned the construction of new cable stayed bridges adjacent to existing ones, followed by the careful demolition of the old structures. This meticulous approach ensures minimal disruption, even to pedestrian movement, during the construction phase.
