BMC extends Borivli flyover to ease traffic

In a bid to decongest traffic in Borivli, the BMC plans to extend the under-construction flyover between Link Road and SV Road in Borivli up to Western Express Highway (WEH). Due to this, the construction cost may shoot up by around 300%, from around Rs 150 crore to over Rs 650 crore.

In 2018, the civic body had proposed the flyover in Kora Kendra area of Borivli from Link Road to SV Road area measuring around 930 metres. The construction of this was pegged at Rs 150 crore.

Now, BMC has proposed extending the flyover further upto Western Express Highway by another 860 metres. Chief engineer (bridges) Satish Thosar said, “This will be an entire new phase of work to be carried out in Borivli,” he said.
