There is good news for people travelling between Marve and Manori as the proposed construction of a bridge at Marve-Manori in the P/N ward by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has moved one step closer to reality. The Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) has granted clearance to the project.
Currently, there is no direct connectivity between Gorai-Manori-Uttan and nearby places from Marve or any part of the western suburbs. At present, the road journey spans 29 km and, during peak traffic, can take almost two hours.
