The BMC has started the process of construction of two important bridges that were announced in the 2022 - 23 civic budget. While the work on Juhu Vile Parle Development (JVPD) bridge is expected to start within a month, the other bridge proposed to decongest Western Express Highway (WEH) will take some time.

Since the bridge will go over the Mithi Creek to connect Senapati Bapat Marg, it will need clearance from the Forest cell, said the senior civic official.

The project has been planned since 2019. The BMC was also ready to pay Rs. 11 crores to the Airport Authority of India (AAI) for the right of way through their land in Andheri. But the process was delayed due to covid pandemic. Now the civic body has floated an Rs.350 crore tender for the same.

Mumbaikars, don't forget to keep your umbrellas handy! Although the Indian Meterological Department has declared the possibility of decrease in intensity of rainfall over the coming week, they have said that monsoon has not yet retreated.

The Konkan belt including Mumbai has been given a green alert (no rainfall warning) Monday onwards.

“The weather over the coming week will start becoming drier and the rain intensity will reduce. The moderate showers which the city is experiencing currently will mostly continue for the next 48 hours but it will witness a gradual decrease,” said IMD official Sushma Nair.
