Overview
- BMC has launched preliminary surveys and soil investigations at the Versova Creek site.
- A senior official says site work could start by 15 February 2026, contingent on Stage-II forest clearance and court nods.
- The Rs 2,395 crore project will run 2,064 metres with a 600-metre cable-stayed section featuring a 300-metre main span and an arm planned to link the Dahisar–Bhayandar coastal road.
- The new link is expected to eliminate an 18–20 km detour and cut typical 60–90 minute journeys to about 10 minutes.
- In-principle MoEFCC approval has been secured following MCZMA’s 2023 nod for a revised alignment, and completion is targeted for 31 March 2029.
