The civic body has sought cost estimates from MMRDA for the extension of Bal Thackeray flyover at Jogeshwari. The project has been stuck for the past five years owing to Metro Line VI — Vikhroli to Lokhandwala — having the same alignment.

The project involves taking the flyover till Lokhandwala at Andheri West and up to Poonam Nagar at Jogeshwari East. Once operational, it will cut the travel time to these places by over half an hour to just 10 minutes.
