Mumbai Unveils Two New ROBs to Ease Traffic Congestion

19 May 2025 CW Team

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday inaugurated two key road overbridge (ROB) projects in Mumbai and its outskirts, aimed at easing traffic congestion and improving east–west connectivity in high-density urban areas.

The Rs 2.73 billion Reay Road cable-stayed bridge and the Rs 1 billion Titwala ROB in the Kalyan-Dombivli region were both developed by the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MahaRail). While the Reay Road bridge was opened in person, the Titwala bridge was inaugurated virtually at the same event.

The Reay Road ROB, spanning 385 metres, is Mumbai’s first cable-stayed bridge within the suburban railway network. It connects Byculla and Mazgaon over the Harbour Line, between Reay Road and Dockyard Road stations. The structure features architectural LED lighting and a bridge health monitoring system to ensure ongoing safety and maintenance.

“This bridge, completed in record time by MahaRail, will benefit thousands of daily commuters,” said Fadnavis. “We plan to open 25 more such ROBs across Maharashtra shortly.”

The Titwala ROB, measuring 820 metres, links Ambivli to Kalyan via the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganesh Mandir. It replaces a level crossing that previously disrupted more than 50 train services daily. Funded by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the new bridge includes dual service roads to improve vehicular flow and ease congestion for both road and rail users.

These developments mark a significant leap in Mumbai’s transport infrastructure. The simultaneous launch of both bridges reflects the state government’s continued commitment to modernising urban mobility, reducing bottlenecks, and enhancing daily commuter experience across the metropolitan region.
