Planned in 1997, completed in 2025: Vikhroli ROB in Mumbai opened for traffic
Indian Chronicle
|June 22, 2025
Mumbai's Vikhroli Railway Over Bridge (ROB) is set to become operational on Saturday, June 14, for vehicular movement, 28 years after its conceptualisation.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has maintained that no inauguration ceremony will be hel,d considering the ongoing monsoon season and the bridge will be opened for traffic straightaway from 4 pm. The idea of constructing the bridge was first mooted in 1997 and was subsequently included in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) Development Plan (DP) model. The primary goal of the project is to ease the east-west connectivity at Vikhroli—one of the growing population hubs during the 1990s and now a prominent residential zone in the eastern suburbs. However, the project got delayed multiple times owing to several challenges like land acquisition and clearing encroachments. It took nearly 28 years for the BMC to finish the construction of the 615-meter-long bridge.
