Palghar district administration has submitted a proposal to the State Government for a 700-metre marine bridge connecting Wadhiv and Vaiti villages, officials said. The ₹25.95 crore project aims to provide safe all-weather access for residents who currently depend on boats and face connectivity challenges.
Palghar, Maharashtra: A recent viral video showing schoolchildren from Wadhiv village walking along railway tracks while travelling for education has brought renewed public attention to the long-standing connectivity challenges faced by Wadhiv and neighbouring Vaiti villages in Palghar taluka. The Palghar district administration, however, has already taken up the issue and submitted a proposal to the State Government for a permanent bridge to provide safe, reliable and all-weather connectivity to the two villages.
Bridge Proposal Submitted
The proposal is the outcome of a series of field inspections, technical assessments and examination of possible connectivity alternatives undertaken by the district administration in coordination with the concerned departments and under the guidance of the State Government.
Wadhiv and Vaiti have populations of 772 and 716 respectively and are surrounded by the Vaitarna River. Their geographical location and the tidal nature of the river make conventional road connectivity difficult, requiring a major bridge structure for a permanent solution.
