The Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (MahaRail) has announced that the state-of-the-art Byculla Cable-Stayed Road Overbridge (ROB) is entering its final phase of construction and is set to open to the public before the onset of the monsoon. The new structure will provide a crucial, weather-resilient link between eastern and western sides of Byculla, ensuring smooth commutes for Mumbaikars during the rainy season.

The Rs 287-crore project, being built adjacent to the century-old Byculla ROB, upgrades the existing two-lane corridor to a four-lane bridge, spanning 916 meters with a 50-meter-high pylon. Once operational, the old bridge will undergo comprehensive strengthening, while traffic flow on the Eastern Express Highway continues uninterrupted.
