For most residents of Lalbaug, 'their' flyover is as famous as its beloved Ganesha idol. And last night just one day before it was to be demolished around 150-200 people gathered on the 35-year-old flyover to say their last goodbyes.
They clicked pictures on the flyover with their family and friends. While some children rode their bicycles, others took an after-dinner walk on the flyover. All the people MiD DAY spoke to said they were happy about the demolition. "The two-way flyover will help a lot of Mumbaikars. There will be traffic congestion initially, but a lot of problems will be solved too," they said.
The demolition of the flyover is expected to start at 9 am today and will be completed in 15 days. Vijay Yadav (24) will be the first man to start the demolition process with his crane and cutter.
