Seven Bridges in Mumbai Suburbs to Be Rebuilt for Rs 330 Million

16 Jul 2025 CW Team

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced plans to demolish and rebuild seven deteriorating bridges — comprising three vehicular bridges and four foot overbridges — in the western suburbs of Kandivali and Malad. The total project cost is estimated at nearly Rs 330 million and is expected to be completed within two years.

All the bridges fall under the R/South ward, covering Kandivali, and the P/North ward, covering Malad.

Among the seven structures to be reconstructed, two are reinforced cement concrete (RCC) vehicular bridges — a 21-metre bridge near the Appa Pada area and another located near Surbhi Complex, Sainagar in Kandivali East.

The four foot overbridges identified for redevelopment include a 30-metre bridge near Ramnagar Chawl in Kandivali East, one near Narvane Transit Camp, and others along Gavdevi Road and Mahalakshmi dairy farm in Hanuman Nagar.

Civic officials stated that these bridges are currently in a dilapidated condition, with two pedestrian bridges already closed and the remainder partially shut for safety.

The project follows a structural audit conducted by consultants appointed by BMC’s bridges department. SCG Consulting Services initially surveyed the bridges, concluding that all seven required demolition and reconstruction. Structronics Consulting Engineers was later brought in during 2023 to reassess the findings, and both firms agreed on the need for complete reconstruction.

Following these assessments, BMC engaged Femstruct Consulting Engineers as the technical consultant to prepare conceptual designs, cost estimates, and tender documentation for the project.

The total cost of reconstruction, including consultancy fees, is pegged at Rs 326.4 million. The civic body will execute the project through its bridges department, which has been allocated Rs 82.39 billion in the 2025–2026 municipal budget.
