Reay Road Bridge Opens: Mumbai's First Cable-Stayed Overpass Completed

Mumbai's first cable-stayed road overbridge at Reay Road station is now ready for traffic, marking a significant milestone in the city's infrastructure development. Completed in just two years, the six-lane bridge, which includes a dedicated pedestrian footpath, is among the fastest-built overbridges spanning rail lines. Construction began on February 14, 2022, as part of a citywide initiative to replace aging British-era bridges nearing the end of their lifespan. The project, led by the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC), or Maharail, aims to upgrade Mumbai's infrastructure with modern cable-stayed bridges. "The new bridges are constructed adjacent to the old ones, ensuring smooth traffic flow during the transition," said a Maharail official. Once completed, these structures are expected to become iconic elements of Mumbai's skyline. Key features • Construction start date: February 14, 2022 • Project cost: Rs 2.73 billion • Length: 385 meters with two down ramps • Total project length: 1.52 kilometers • Lanes: Six, with a pedestrian footpath The bridge complies with Indian Road Congress standards, providing sufficient vertical clearance for vehicles under the eastern freeway. Additionally, it features architectural LED lighting for enhanced aesthetics and a bridge health monitoring system for improved safety. The Reay Road bridge is one of several ongoing projects in Mumbai, with similar upgrades under construction at Byculla, Dadar, and Ghatkopar. This initiative is expected to redefine the city’s infrastructure while addressing the needs of modern traffic flow. The newly completed bridge also allows traffic to flow seamlessly through the Barrister Nath Pai Road underpass, symbolising a leap forward in Mumbai's urban planning and development. (One India)
