The proposal to built double decker bridge in Mumbai can be a model project for the country to incorporate both railway tracks and road ways in land scarce cities. This is expected to create a win win situation for train passengers and motorists in Indian cities where higher urbanization demands increased road and rail connectivity with minimum utilization of space.
