The first Kalwa Bridge was built in 1863. The 350 meter long bridge has 10 pillars and 10 arches. Following a structural audit conducted on the bridge in 2010, it was deemed unsafe for use by heavy vehicles, and only two and three-wheelers were permitted to use the bridge. According to officials the bridge's structure had suffered damage from a collision with a barge in 2006. The bridge was closed to all motor vehicle traffic from midnight on 3 August 2016, and only pedestrians were permitted to use bridge. The bridge will not be demolished as it classified as a heritage structure.

The second Kalwa Bridge was opened in the mid-1990s.

A third bridge at the same location was proposed in 2013 to ease traffic congestion. The 2.4 km U-shaped bridge was built at an estimated cost of INR 183 crore. It begins at Creek Road and passes above Saket Road, turns right into the creek and curves on to Thane-Belapur Road. The new bridge will be used for one-way traffic towards Kalwa, while the 2nd bridge will be converted to a one-way in the opposite direction. Construction of the bridge was completed in 2021. However, work on access roads and pedestrian roads had not been completed. The 3rd Kalwa Bridge is scheduled to open to the public by June 2022.
