Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis launched two major road-over-bridge projects on Tuesday, May 12. One was at Reay Road in Mumbai. The other was at Titwala in the Kalyan-Dombivli region. These bridges will reduce traffic and improve connectivity in crowded areas.

Fadnavis was present at the Reay Road site. He inaugurated the six-lane bridge there. Speaking at the event, Fadnavis said that this is Mumbai’s first cable-stayed bridge of this kind. He said it was built in record time by MahaRail. He added that it will help many commuters.

He also virtually launched the Titwala Bridge from the same location. Local officials were present at the event. Fadnavis stated that this bridge is equally important.

Additionally, 25 more such bridges will be opened soon with the help of MahaRail, Fadnavis assured.

Reay Road bridge 

The Reay Road bridge is Mumbai's first cable-stayed road-over-bridge in a suburban area. It is 385 metres long. It crosses the Harbour Line between Reay Road and Dockyard Road stations. 

With six lanes and two ramps, the bridge is expected to cut travel time by up to 30 minutes for daily commuters. It passes over the Harbour railway line, offering crucial connectivity between Byculla East and Mazgaon.

The project cost INR 273 crore. The bridge was built by the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation, also called MahaRail. It was built for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The Reay Road bridge has LED lighting. It also has a system to monitor the health of the bridge. It is designed to reduce travel time during busy hours.

Titwala bridge

The Titwala bridge is 820 metres long. It has four lanes. It connects Ambivli to Kalyan. It goes via the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganesh Temple. It cost INR 100 crore. The project was funded by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority. MahaRail handled the construction.

This bridge replaces an old level crossing near Titwala station. That crossing used to affect more than 50 train trips every day. The new bridge will help reduce road and rail traffic. Service roads are also built on both sides. These roads will help vehicles move better during peak hours.
