Residents and commuters in Digha, Navi Mumbai, currently have to traverse the busy Thane-Belapur Road to reach the railway station, a journey made even more perilous during peak hours. The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has plans to build a pedestrian bridge near the Digha railway station at an estimated cost of around Rs 5 crore.
This bridge will offer a safer alternative to the daily commuters, including residents, workers and employees, who are currently forced to cross the road at street level. The project is expected to benefit commuters during events at the Patni ground, which sees a surge in pedestrian movement, as well as those in the expanding MIDC area and commercial zones surrounding the station.
Once the bridge is constructed, it will connect both sides of the area, providing commuters with a safer means of crossing the Thane-Belapur Road.
