The delay in the construction of the extension of the Balasaheb Thackeray flyover, a crucial connector between Jogeshwari East and West, is costing Oshiwara and Lokhandwala residents headed for the Western Express Highway (WEH) more than one hour, as they end up spending the time in traffic jams near Swami Vivekanand (SV) Road, especially during peak hours.
The Thackeray flyover is currently operational between SV Road in Jogeshwari West to the WEH in the east. However, the delay in the construction of the extensions from SV Road to Link Road in the west and from the WEH to Jogeshwari Vikroli Link Road (JVLR) is causing bottlenecks on both sides.
