BMC Floats Rs 22 Billion Tenders for Two Key Mumbai Bridges

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued tenders worth Rs 22 billion for the construction of two major bridges in Mumbai’s western suburbs, as part of its ongoing efforts to upgrade infrastructure and ease traffic congestion in the region.

One of the flagship projects is the Lagoon Road Bridge, designed to provide a direct link between Malad (West) and Andheri’s Lagoon Road. At present, the 12-kilometre distance between these two areas lacks seamless connectivity, compelling motorists to rely on Link Road, SV Road, or the Western Express Highway.

The proposed bridge will start from behind Infinity Mall in Malad and extend towards Andheri Back Road, passing over a hectare of mangrove cover and the Poisar River. Once completed, it is expected to significantly cut travel time and reduce congestion on existing routes.

The second project focuses on the construction of a bridge connecting MDP Road to Ryan International School in Kandivali East, which currently faces heavy vehicular traffic throughout the day. This bridge aims to streamline local movement and improve road accessibility for residents and commuters.

Additionally, a new traffic arm is planned to connect the upcoming Coastal Road to Marve Road in Malad, enhancing overall network connectivity between suburban corridors and major arterial routes.

In parallel, the BMC is preparing to widen the Malad–Marve Road between Mahakali Junction and Charkop Naka in Kandivali, a move expected to accommodate growing traffic volumes and enhance road safety and efficiency in the area.

These projects, collectively part of the BMC’s suburban mobility upgrade initiative, underscore Mumbai’s push towards modern, sustainable, and efficient urban transport infrastructure to meet the demands of its rapidly expanding population.
