Work Detail |
The ongoing construction of the Versova-Bandra Sea Link (VBSL) has witnessed 15 percent of the civil work being completed, as per an official from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), which is entrusted to oversee the project.
In this, one pier has been fully constructed, and piling work for other piers is currently underway. Additionally, barges are strategically positioned at 10 different locations in the sea to ensure smooth transportation of raw materials, machinery and personnel to the site. A specially designed barge featuring a floating concrete factory, a mixing plant, a pump, and a separate placing boom, has been deployed to significantly accelerate the construction process, for this bridge project in Mumbai.
The project’s completion deadline has been revised to May 2028, previously set for December 2026. The VBSL project involves the construction of a sealink bridge along Mumbai’s west coast, and will connect Bandra (south side) to Versova at Nana Nani Park (north side), with intermediate connectors at Juhu Koliwada and Otter’s Club and will have toll facilities. |
