Vashi Bridge, Road bridge in Mankhurd, India
Description
Vashi Bridge is a road bridge in Mankhurd, India, spanning 1,837 meters across Thane Creek and linking two urban districts. The structure consists of steel trusses resting on multiple concrete piers and carries six lanes of vehicle traffic.
History
The current crossing opened in 1997, replacing an older bridge built in 1973. The earlier structure was abandoned due to structural problems that would have required extensive repairs.
Culture
The bridge carries daily commuters between Mumbai's older districts and the newer settlements across the creek. Local drivers use it as a landmark and as a boundary between two worlds of the metropolis.
Practical
Crossing takes around ten minutes in normal traffic, though rush hours can extend the journey considerably. Pedestrians are not permitted on this connection, so travelers without vehicles need alternative routes.
Did you know?
Engineers had to design the pylons so that ships could continue passing through the creek. The span between piers allows larger boats to navigate without interfering with vehicle traffic.
