This significant development marks an important milestone in MahaRail's commitment to enhancing transportation infrastructure across the state.

The ROB is built to connect Byculla and Mazgaon over the Harbour Railway Line.

Finally some good infrastructure development in Mumbai! The cable-stayed design looks modern and will definitely ease traffic. Hope they maintain it properly unlike some other bridges that deteriorate quickly. More such projects needed across Maharashtra. đź‘Ť

The bridge looks beautiful but I hope they've considered pedestrian safety too. Many new infrastructure projects focus only on vehicles while walkers struggle. Also, was there proper environmental impact assessment done for this project?

As someone who travels daily on this route, this is a much-needed relief! The traffic jams near Reay Road were unbearable. Hope the quality matches international standards. Fadnavis government is doing good work on infrastructure front.

Good initiative but I wonder how much public money was spent on the "aesthetic" aspects. In a city where basic amenities are lacking in many areas, shouldn't functionality be prioritized over beauty? Just my thought...

Mumbai needs more such infra projects desperately! The city's growth has outpaced its infrastructure for decades. This bridge along with the new metro lines show we're finally catching up. Hope the pace continues! 🇮🇳

While inaugurations are good, I hope they've planned proper maintenance. So many Mumbai bridges have developed cracks within years of construction. Quality should not be compromised for quick photo-ops with ribbon cutting!
