One of the worst things that can happen while travelling to a certain destination is traffic congestion. Especially if the journey is time-sensitive, like going to work, for instance. All of us have faced one of those horrible days when we had to be somewhere but the dang traffic just won’t let up. Well, the regular travellers of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway faced a similar situation. But, if you are one of these travellers, then we have some good news for you! The new Versova-Mira-Bhayandar four-lane bridge is all set to open soon.
New Versova-Mira-Bhayandar four-lane Bridge To Open Next Year
There’s a new Versova bridge that is going to open soon in Mira-Bhayandar. This bridge is set to open within the first three months of the year 2023. This will provide some much-needed relief from traffic congestion to the daily commuters of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway. The officials of this new bridge have said that it is near completion and will be open for use early next year.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway connects two major cities in the country. As such, the traffic volume on the highway is high, especially between Mumbai and Surat. This is why the National Highway Authorities of India (NHAI) resolved to create another bridge consisting of four lanes. The bridge cost around 247 crores to build and the stone-laying ceremony was attended by Devendra Fadnavis, the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Rajan Vichare, the MP, also visited the site of the bridge a couple of days back to review its progress.
