In a bid to decongest the Mith Chowky traffic junction, also known as ‘Uncle’s Kitchen’ junction in Malad (West) which is infamous for snarls, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is constructing a ‘T’-shaped flyover at the chokepoint.
As the 800-m-long flyover will pass below the elevated Metro 2A line, it will only cater to two-wheelers and light motor vehicles (LMVs). P Velrasu, additional municipal commissioner (projects), said that the construction would cost nearly Rs 53 crore.
The Mith Chowky is a four-arm traffic junction, where the S V Road intersects the road going towards Madh Island.
