Exciting developments are unfolding for the residents of Goregaon West, Oshiwara, and Andheri West. The eagerly anticipated bridge over Goregaon Creek, situated behind Bhagat Singh Nagar, has taken a substantial step towards realisation. The Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) has granted its recommendation for the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance required for the project.
During the 167th meeting of the MCZMA on May 18, 2023, the proposal, as detailed in the minutes, was extensively discussed. The BMC has presented plans for the construction of a bridge behind Bhagat Singh Nagar, spanning Goregaon Creek along a 36.6-meter-wide DP road at the border of K/W and P/S wards. The proposed bridge will be a cable-stayed design featuring an A-type pylon on a pile foundation.
