Mumbai’s costliest flyover shut for repairs month after opening
A Rs 713-crore Mumbai flyover inaugurated just a month ago was partially shut down on Wednesday for extensive repairs after numerous complaints of two-wheelers skidding and a fatal bike accident earlier in the week.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has started repairs work on the newly-constructed Ghatkopar Mankhurd Link Road, two days after a biker skidded and fell to his death on Monday.
The 2.9-km flyover, constructed by BMC was thrown open to light vehicles (up to 3 m) on August 1 three years after missing its deadline. It has helped decrease travel time for motorists heading towards Navi Mumbai from Ghatkopar.
