Besides this, the BMC is also set to widen the existing Malad Marve road between Mahakali Junction to Charkop Naka at Kandivali.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation BMC on Tuesday floated tenders worth Rs 2,200 crore to construct two key bridges in the western suburbs along with a new traffic arm of the upcoming Mumbai Coastal Road Project that will connect Versova with Bhayander .
The projects that will be taken up as part of this tender include the much-awaited Lagoon road bridge which will become a key connector joining Malad (west) with the Lagoon Road at Andheri’s backside. According to the plan, the bridge will originate from behind the Infinity Mall and will extend towards Andheri Back road.
The bridge will pass over one hectare of mangrove patch and the Poisar river. The distance between Andheri and Malad is 12 km and at present there is no direct connectivity between these two places as motorists have to take either the Link Road, SV Road or Western Express Highway.
The second project includes construction of another bridge that will connect MDP road with the Ryan International School at Kandivali East in North Mumbai. Alongside this, a new traffic arm will also be constructed which will connect the upcoming coastal road with Malad’s Marve Road which records a large influx of vehicular movement throughout the day.
Union Minister and MP from North Mumbai Piyush Goyal said that these projects will be vital to decongest the north Mumbai area at a time when the upcoming Mumbai Coastal Road is set to become operational in the next few years.
“These projects that earlier have been delayed have gained momentum with continuous monitoring and regular reviews,” Goyal said in a statement.
Besides this, the BMC is also set to widen the existing Malad Marve road between Mahakali Junction to Charkop Naka at Kandivali.
