Mumbai: 1 month after being opened up, Ghatkopar-Mankhurd flyover shut for work

One month after chief minister Uddhav Thackeray gave green light to the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd flyover, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to undertake maintenance work, owing to which, traffic is expected to be disrupted. The BMC has also decided to install CCTV cameras, additional speed bumps and rumblers and making the surface rough.

This comes after an uproar over several accidents on the flyover including the death of a 34-year-old biker Yusuf Khan, who slipped and lost his life on Monday. In the absence of this flyover, those heading to Navi Mumbai and further along with those heading to south Mumbai and eastern suburbs will have to use the Ghatkopar Mankhurd Link Road, which will result in traffic jams.
