The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) of Mumbai has cleared a plan for an elevated walkway through the woods on Malabar Hill one of the most attractive tourist sites, this will enable people to enjoy an unhindered view of the sea.
Reportedly, the walkway will be a 900 m long trail, with a width of 1.5 m. Once the walkway is ready, one would be able to take a canopy walk through the woods to get an undisturbed view of the sea.
As per the reports, this project will likely be completed by the end of 2021.
Although the city has a number of skywalks, there are no elevated leisure walkways. However, the one that is coming up in Malabar Hill will be the one-of-its-kind in the city.
According to the reports, the route will offer joggers, walkers, and tourists magnificent views of the sea and surrounding areas. The viewing deck will feature a glass base, whereas the walkway will be enhanced with a steel body.
The construction and installation of this one-of-a-kind walkway will start in October, which will be similar to the ‘treetop walk’ at the MacRitchie Reservoir in Singapore, which takes visitors 25 m above the ground on a free-standing suspension bridge.
