After nearly a decade of anticipation, the citizens of Andheri West, Mumbai, India particularly those residing in Lokhandwala and Yari Road, have cause for celebration as the long-awaited inauguration of the bridge between Yari Road and SVP Nagar is finally happening. This monumental infrastructure achievement promises to revolutionize commuting, significantly cutting travel time to Lokhandwala and saving commuters nearly half an hour on their daily journeys.

President Shashi Ranjan remarked, ”The inauguration of the bridge between Yari Road and SVP Nagar is not just a milestone; it’s a testament to the power of community activism and perseverance. For years, we have fought for the betterment of our area, and today, we reap the rewards of our collective efforts. This bridge is a lifeline for commuters, easing congestion and enhancing connectivity. It is a testament to what we can achieve when we unite for a common cause."
