Mumbai Opens First Cable-Stayed Rail Bridge at Reay Road

Mumbai has inaugurated its first cable-stayed railway overbridge (RoB) at Reay Road, marking a significant upgrade to the city’s infrastructure. The six-lane structure, built at a cost of Rs 2.66 billion, was officially opened by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. During the event, held in Byculla East, the Chief Minister also inaugurated another RoB at Titwala in Thane district via video link.

Replacing a British-era bridge from 1910, the new 385-metre-long Reay Road RoB was constructed by the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC), also known as MahaRail, in record time and without disrupting traffic. The bridge features two ramps on either side and serves as a critical east-west connector along Sant Savata Mali Marg, spanning the Harbour line railway between Reay Road and Dockyard Road stations, and running beneath the Eastern Freeway.

Commissioned by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the project reflects the joint efforts of the Maharashtra government and the Ministry of Railways. The bridge is illuminated with architectural LED lighting and designed to improve road safety and ease traffic congestion.

Rajesh Kumar Jaiswal, Managing Director of MahaRail, noted that the new RoBs will enhance connectivity, safety, and efficiency within Mumbai’s transport network.

In Thane, the four-lane Titwala RoB, also newly inaugurated, is located on the Kalyan Ring Road between Titwala and Khadavli stations. Constructed by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), this 820-metre-long overbridge was built at a cost of Rs 1 billion. It is expected to improve connectivity between Ambivili and Kalyan, passing near the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganesh Mandir.

MahaRail is currently developing over 200 railway overbridges and underbridges across Maharashtra. To date, it has successfully commissioned 32 RoBs as part of its broader infrastructure initiative.
