The new Reay Road cable-stayed bridge at Barrister Nath Pai Marg, Byculla (East), Mumbai, is set to open in February

The city’s first cable-stayed road overbridge at Reay Road station is completed and has become one of the fastest ones constructed over the rail lines. The new bridge has six lanes and a footpath for pedestrians

The construction work of this cable-stayed bridge was started on Valentine’s Day 2022 and has been completed in two years

The new bridge has been part of a citywide project to upgrade old bridges in the city

Century-old British-era bridges have been taken up for reconstruction by the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC) or Maharail, under agreement with the BMC and Railways

The new Cable-Stayed Road Over Bridge will add more aesthetic appeal to the world-class heritage structure

Additionally, the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC) has designed architectural LED lighting on the proposed bridge, which will enhance the aesthetic appeal and improve the safety parameters with a Bridge Health Monitoring System

The bridge will allow traffic movement through the underpass of Barrister Nath Pai Road, and it will also maintain the required vertical clearance for passing of vehicles under the eastern freeway as per Indian Road Congress (IRC) standard

Also, it has been designed to improve the safety parameters with a bridge health monitoring system
