Goshree bridges

The bridges start from the northern end of Marine Drive between High Court and Pachalam.

The bridges were constructed under the supervision of the Goshree Islands Development Authority (GIDA), constituted by the Government of Kerala.

The authority decided to reclaim 25 hectares of backwaters, the sale of which would finance the bridges project.

The last segment was completed on 17 March 2004 and the entire bridge was formally opened on 5 June.

It also provides direct road connectivity to the city for the Vypin island and the suburbs to the northwest, which was relying upon ferry services earlier.
