Description
Description | The Vikhroli Railway Over Bridge (ROB) in Mumbai was planned in 1997 to improve east-west connectivity in the Vikhroli area. The project faced multiple delays due to challenges like land acquisition, encroachments, and changes in construction guidelines. Work orders were issued in 2018 with an initial completion deadline of 2020, which was postponed to 2022 and then to mid-2025. The 615-meter-long bridge, made of stainless steel with four vehicular lanes and footpaths, is India's longest open-web-girder (OWG) bridge. It connects the Eastern Express Highway with Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg and aims to reduce commute time significantly. |
