India, Feb. 10 -- Construction of the new bridge over the Mutha river on the Mumbai-Bengaluru national highway near Warje is nearing completion, with around 80% of the work on the Mumbai-Satara side already over. Work on key components such as girders, deck slabs, and safety railings is in its final stage while structural work on the opposite lane has also progressed, with all piers now in place. With additional manpower and machinery deployed at the site, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is working towards opening the bridge to traffic within the next three months; a move expected to ease congestion and significantly reduce travel time for commuters and heavy vehicles.
