Mumbai, May 11 -- The city's first land-based cable-stayed bridge will be open on May 13, which is set to mark a new milestone in urban infrastructure, officials said here on Sunday.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will officially open it at 7 PM in a ceremony at Reay Road.

This landmark bridge is a first of its kind for Mumbai.

Unlike the iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link, which spans the Arabian Sea, the Reay Road Bridge stands out as it has been constructed entirely on land, showcasing a modern cable-stayed design adapted for dense urban areas.

The bridge is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion in south and east Mumbai, offering a faster, more direct route for daily commuters and freight vehicles.
