Fadnavis inaugurates 2 key road over bridges in Mumbai, Titwala
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday opened two road-over-bridge (ROB) projects—one at Reay Road in Mumbai and the other at Titwala in the Kalyan-Dombivli area—with an aim to enhance east-west connectivity and decongest traffic in two highly populated areas. While Fadnavis inaugurated the six-lane Reay Road cable-stayed ROB in person, he virtually inaugurated the four-lane Titwala bridge from the Reay Road site in front of local authorities and officials. The Reay Road ROB, constructed at a cost of Rs 273 crore, is the first cable-stayed road-over-bridge within Mumbai's suburban zone. Built by Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation, also known as MahaRail for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the 385-metre long bridge connects Byculla and Mazgaon over the Harbour Line between Reay Road and Dockyard Road stations. The bridge is fitted with architectural LED lighting and a bridge health monitoring system and is planned to cut down travel time during peak hours. Speaking at the inauguration, Fadnavis said, 'This is a first-of-its-kind cable stayed bridge in Mumbai that was built in record time by the MahaRail, which is going to benefit many commuters. Likewise, we have also inaugurated Titwala ROB which is equally significant. With MahaRail, we have plans to inaugurate 25 such ROBs in the coming days.' The Titwala ROB, financed by the MMRDA and constructed by MahaRail, was also inaugurated for public use. The 820-metre long bridge, constructed at a cost of Rs 100 crore, has four lanes and links Ambivli to Kalyan through Shree Siddhivinayak Ganesh Mandir. The bridge replaces a congested level crossing near Titwala railway station, which affected more than 50 train services per day. The ROB will also help to reduce congestion and travelling time for both rail and road. Service roads with dedicated use on both sides have been provided so that vehicles can move smoothly during rush hours.
