Coastal Road North And Dahisar–Bhayandar Elevated Link To Transform Travel Time
After completing the first phase of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP) — from the Princess Street flyover at Marine Drive to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link — the BMC has begun work on MCRP–North, a Rs. 16,621 crore, 20 km stretch between Versova and Dahisar.
Additionally, a 5.6 km, 45 m-wide elevated road from Dahisar to Bhayandar costing Rs 3,304 crore is slated for completion by December 2028. The project aims to cut travel time from 90–120 minutes to 15–20 minutes and reduce carbon emissions by 55%.
Madh–Versova, Andheri–Malad, And Marve–Manori Bridges To Boost Connectivity
The Rs 3,990 crore Madh–Versova Bridge, a 2.06 km cable-stayed link, will connect Versova Koliwada to Madh Jetty within three years. To further ease congestion, a vehicular bridge between Andheri (Lagoon Road) and Malad (Infinity Mall) is planned at a cost of Rs 2,200 crore, slated for completion by 2028.
Another proposed Marve–Manori bridge will enhance connectivity to the Gorai–Manori–Uttan area, cutting the distance from 29 km to just 1.5 km. Together, these projects aim to improve connectivity and reduce traffic congestion across the western suburbs.
