  • Currently, the bow-string arch bridge is only partially open to northbound traffic (on the southbound carriageway).
  • The  entire arch bridge will become operational, enabling citizens to traverse to and fro Marine Drive and Bandra within a span of 10 minutes, which marks a significant cut in the current travel time of up to one hour.
  • The entire stretch between Marine Drive and Bandra, including the bow-string arch bridge, will remain operational daily from 7 am to midnight.
  • The opening of the four new interchange arms — three at the Worli junction and one at Haji Ali — will also aid vehicles to exit towards Worli, Prabhadevi, Lower Parel, and Lotus Junction.
  • The BMC has charted plans to create a 22.93 km high-speed corridor linking Versova with Dahisar, covering Mumbai’s northern-western suburbs.
  • As a part of the plan, a second set of tunnels, spanning nearly 4 km, is slated to run between Mindspace in Malad and Kandivali’s Charkop Gaon.
