The Mumbai-Goa Highway, a critical transport link between Maharashtra’s capital and the coastal paradise of Goa, is undergoing a major transformation. To address traffic bottlenecks and enhance travel efficiency, the government has proposed the construction of multiple bridges along the route. These improvements aim to reduce travel time, enhance road safety, and support economic growth in coastal towns along the Konkan belt.
Among the key proposed structures is the Kundlika Creek Bridge, a 3.8 km cable-supported bridge connecting Revdanda and Salav, offering breathtaking views over the Kundlika Creek. The Dharamtar Creek Bridge, a massive 10.2 km steel bridge, will provide a crucial link for travellers. The Agardanda Creek Bridge, a 4.3 km cable-stayed structure, and the Jaigad Creek Bridge, spanning 4.4 km, will enhance connectivity and improve access to coastal regions, boosting tourism and trade.
These bridges form part of the Mumbai-Goa Marine Superhighway, an ambitious Rs 26,000 crore project aimed at decongesting the existing highway and offering an alternative coastal route. This superhighway is expected to facilitate faster and more scenic travel, benefiting both commuters and businesses.
With construction underway, the new infrastructure promises to revamp the Mumbai-Goa corridor, making journeys more efficient and enjoyable. Improved connectivity is expected to uplift local economies and strengthen Maharashtra’s coastal transportation network.
