Kasarvadavli-Kharbhav creek bridge hits land acquisition hurdle

in5points

  1. The MMRDA approved the 3.93-km Kasarvadavali-Kharbhav creek bridge on March 3, 2024.

  2. The project requires about 26 hectares on the Kasarvadavli side and 6.86 hectares on the Kharbhav side, but land acquisition has not started after two years.

  3. The bridge contract was awarded to Afcons Infrastructure in October 2024 for ₹1,552.77 crore, 6.83% above estimate.

  4. The project includes a 1-km bridge over Vasai creek and a 40-metre-wide road with four lanes each way.

  5. The April 2028 completion deadline may be missed due to the land acquisition delay, despite MMRDA's Metropolitan Commissioner saying it is on track.
