Image Mahim Causeway 2.jpg thumb The Mahim Causeway The Mahim Causeway is a vital link road connecting the Mumbai City city of Mumbai with its northern Mumbai Suburban District suburbs . The causeway links the neighbourhoods of Mahim to the south with Bandra to the north. The Mahim Causeway was built between 1841 to 1846 to connect the island of Salsette with Mahim. The swampy area between the two islands made travel dangerous and thus a need for a causeway arose. The British East India Company , who governed Bombay at that time, refused to fund the project. This led Avabai Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy Lady Jeejeebhoy , wife of the first baronet Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy , to donate the entire amount of Indian rupee Rs. 1,57,000 NUMBERING SYSTEM IS CORRECT See Indian numbering system . on the condition that the government would not charge a toll for its use or disturb the Koli community who lived around the area ref cite news title A bridge with a difference url http week.manoramaonline.com cgi bin MMonline.dll portal ep theWeekContent.do?BV ID &contentType EDITORIAL§ionName TheWeek Last Word&programId 1073754894&contentId 5758088 authorname Mahesh Dattani ref The Mahim causeway forms the link between Swami Vivekanand Road and Lady Jamshetjee Road, Mumbai L.J.Road , being the stretch between Bandra masjid and St. Michael s Church Mumbai Mahim church St. Michael s .
