Motorists will have to wait a bit longer to utilise the flyover recently constructed on the Western Express Highway (WEH) near the domestic airport flyover by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). The structure, also known as the T1 flyover, was expected to open on February 15.  MMRDA officials said that the final touches and installation of signboards on the flyover are underway after which the flyover will be opened.

An MMRDA official who did not wish to be named said, “The work of giving finishing touches and installation of signage is in progress and the flyover will be thrown open for motorists soon.” Vile Parle East residents, who did not wish to be named, expressed the fear that the new flyover might lead to traffic jams once it is opened.
