The 400-metre-long bridge from Infiniti Mall in Malad to Lagoon Road in Andheri is expected to cut travel time between the two hubs to 5-8 minutes from the current 45 minutes.
The BMC had deployed trash brooms at eight spots in the city, including the Mithi River, the Dahisar River, The Poisar River, the Oshiwara River, Mogra Nullah and Gazdarband Nalla.
The Poisar River is 11.15 kilometres long and around 10 metres wide. The river, which originates from Sanjay Gandhi National Park, flows into the Arabian Sea via the Marve Creek in the western suburbs.
After Dahisar and Oshiwara-Walbhat rivers, the BMC has taken a step towards rejuvenating the Poisar river at a staggering cost of Rs 1,165 crore. The proposal has been tabled before the civic standing committee for the final nod.
