As the last span of the northbound Mumbai Coastal Road is installed, it will connect smoothly to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL). The 44-meter bridge span arrived in Worli on Monday from Karanja Port in Navi Mumbai, ready for deployment on Tuesday with a backup on Wednesday.

The BMC expects one arm of the Mumbai Coastal Road arch bridge, connecting to the BWSL, to open tentatively on September 15, 2024. Civic sources anticipate the south-bound roadway to handle northbound Marine Drive-Bandra traffic when it opens.

A monumental 2,000-metric-ton arch bridge, integral to the Mumbai Coastal Road project, embarked on its voyage from Mazagon Dock's Nhava unit at 12:30 PM recently.

Four girders for the bridge connecting Worli to the Coastal Road and Bandra-Worli Sea-Link will be installed in March, with the entire bridge expected to be operational by May, 2024. This step is part of the larger Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP), aimed at enhancing connectivity in the region.
