Madh, Manori islands will be connected with Mumbai

A consultant will be appointed to construct the bridge

Mumbai, 9th: Madh, Manori islands are now going to be connected to the mainland of Mumbai. The municipality will construct traffic bridges from Versova to Madh and Marve to Manori. The municipality has decided to appoint a consultant to construct six bridges including these two bridges, and accordingly a proposal has been tabled in the Standing Committee.

The islands of Madh and Manori are part of Mumbai; but they are cut off from the mainland due to the creeks. Boats are required to reach these islands. But many times after the boat service stops at night, these islands lose contact with Mumbai. But this situation is going to change in the next few years. The municipality has decided to appoint a consultant for the construction of six bridges in Mumbai. 2 crore 61 lakh rupees will be spent for this. The proposal was tabled in the standing committee meeting on Wednesday.

For these bridges, the consultant has to carry out environmental studies and obtain permission from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, assist in the tendering process, obtain permissions from the Ministry of Buildings and other departments, obtain permission from the Defense Department and obtain court approval..

These bridges to be included:

* Madh-Versova Bay Bridge

* Marve-Manori Creek Bridge

* Bridge across Malad Bay and Oshiwara River

* Bridge over a stream at Evershine Nagar Malad

*Bridge connecting Lagoon Road to Infinity Mall

*Bridge connecting Dharivali Village to Marve Road in Malad.
