BMC plans third arm for Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link road flyover

23 Sep 2024 CW Team

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to add a third arm to the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road flyover to improve traffic flow and connectivity. This expansion aims to address congestion issues in the area. However, the project is currently awaiting approval for the increased cost associated with the modifications.

The initial design did not account for this additional arm, which has resulted in a reassessment of the project's budget. Officials are optimistic that the new arm will enhance accessibility and streamline vehicular movement in this vital corridor.

The BMC continues to prioritize infrastructure development to facilitate smoother travel across the city, and this initiative is part of their broader plan to upgrade Mumbai’s transportation network.
