The four-lane bridge has been constructed at a cost of Rs 247 crore, with the primary goal of easing traffic congestion along the Mumbai-Surat corridor

"Starting from March 27, 2023, we will be opening a recently constructed 918-meter-long balanced cantilever bridge on Varsova creek, consisting of four lanes, which will provide significant traffic relief to the Mumbai-Surat corridor, particularly across the Varsova creek," Gadkari tweeted

The total length includes the balanced cantilever bridge of 917.875 meters and both approaches of 1.33 km

Nitin Gadkari said that most people in India are not serious about following road safety rules and unless their mindset and attitude change, it would be difficult to reduce the number of road accidents in the country

The road, transport, and highway minister pointed out that a whopping 5 lakh road accidents take place in the country, in which 1.5 lakh people die every year
