Rewas-Karanja Bridge: Mumbai-Konkan Travel Time Slashed After 47 Years

• Work on the Rewas-Karanja creek bridge, part of the Rewas-Reddi coastal highway, is progressing rapidly after decades of delay.
• The 10.2 km project, including a 2.4 km main bridge, will significantly reduce travel time between Mumbai and Konkan.
• Approximately 22-25% of the project is complete, with a target of 50% by December 2026 and full completion by March 2028.
• The bridge will cut the Jawaharlal Nehru Port to Alibaug distance from 55 km to 30 km, bypassing the Pen-Panvel route.
• Local objections regarding land acquisition and environmental impact in the Chanje area of Karanja are being addressed.
