The works on GMLR flyover after death: Rumblers, sensors, milling

MUMBAI: Following an uproar upon the death of a 34-year-old riding pillion on a bike on the recently opened 2.9km Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road flyover, the BMC initiated works on it from Wednesday.

Offcials said the works would be taken up on each lane of the flyover, mostly during non-peak hours. On Wednesday, the north-bound arm of the flyover had been kept shut, said locals.

The traffic police issued a notification prohibiting movement of heavy vehicles, two-wheelers and cyclists on the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road for a month.

For five days, the north-bound stretch of the flyover will be completely shut for the BMC repairs. Thereafter, light vehicles will be allowed at a speed of 30 to 50kmph. Parking is banned.
