To provide additional connectivity between Goregaon and Andheri, and ease traffic in Andheri, Oshiwara, and Lokhandwala, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to build a new vehicular bridge across Goregaon creek. It will also help decongest the New Link Road near Andheri and SV Road near Oshiwara.

This is the second bridge planned in the western suburbs this year, apart from a new flyover at JVPD in Andheri. BMC recently floated tenders for the project, along with tenders for the flyover at JVPD circle.

The cost of this project is estimated to be Rs 418.5 crore and the estimated deadline for completion of the project is 36 months. The bridge will be about 500 m long.
