The much-anticipated bow-string arch bridge, part of the Mumbai Coastal Road project, is set to partially open this September. This new infrastructure will connect the Mumbai Coastal Road with the Sea Link, enhancing connectivity and traffic flow in the city.

The bow-string arch bridge is a significant feature of the Coastal Road project, designed to improve access between key locations in Mumbai. With its distinctive architectural design, the bridge will facilitate smoother transportation and reduce congestion in the area.

Officials have announced that the partial opening will mark a major milestone in the Coastal Road project's timeline. The completed sections of the bridge are expected to ease traffic bottlenecks and provide a vital link between the city?s major roadways and waterfront areas.

The full completion of the bridge, along with the entire Coastal Road project, is anticipated to deliver substantial benefits, including improved travel efficiency and enhanced urban infrastructure. The opening is expected to be a pivotal development in Mumbai?s ongoing efforts to modernize its road network.
