A bridge between Millat Nagar in Andheri West and Bhagat Singh Nagar in Goregaon West has been stalled for the last two years. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is still awaiting approval from the high court, with the major challenge being the shifting of 2,500 families in Bhagat Singh Nagar.

According to BMC records, a 500-metre cable-stayed bridge over the Oshiwara Creek was approved at the end of 2022. The six-lane bridge, valued at Rs 418.35 crore, aims to decongest traffic on New Link Road. It will provide an alternative route for motorists from Andheri Lokhandwala. The bridge will begin at Masjid Al Salam Chowk in Millat Nagar and end at Bhagat Singh Nagar. The project is expected to be completed four years after construction begins.
