Mumbai's Goregaon-Airoli journey could become remarkably shorter with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) planning a 1.6 km double-decker cable-stayed bridge between Nahur and Airoli. According to an Indian Express report, the bridge is estimated to cost Rs 1,354.52 crore and is being planned as the final phase of the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR).
Once completed, the proposed connectivity is likely to allow vehicles travelling from Mumbai's western suburbs through the GMLR tunnels to proceed towards Airoli without depending on the existing Nahur-Airoli flyover.
