Good news for the commuters travelling between Rewas and Karanja in Raigad district. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has finally invited bids for Request for Qualification for the construction of a four-lane bridge across Dharamtar Creek. For many years, there was a demand from locals for a bridge across Rewas creek.

In pipeline since 1980s 

An MSRDC official said, “We have invited bids for Request for Qualification (RFQ) for constructing a four-lane creek bridge connecting Rewas with Karanja in Raigad district and we are expecting a positive response for the same. Once complete the bridge will save commuters a lot of time and fuel.” At present, motorists going to Rewas have to travel 70 km via road to reach Karanja, which takes over two hours to reach. The ferry services take 15 minutes between the two locations. However, during the monsoon, travelling becomes extremely difficult, as ferry services are shut.
