On Wednesday, Mumbai's first double-decker flyover, which combines a flyover and a Metro viaduct was inaugurated by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The double-decker flyover, located in Mira-Bhayander, is expected to usher in a huge improvement to the region's transport infrastructure. The inauguration was attended by MLA Pratap Sarnaik, MLA Geeta Jain, and Joint Metropolitan Commissioner Radhabinod Sharma.

The double-decker flyover, which extends around one km and rises 5.5 metres above the current road level, is intended to relieve traffic congestion at key intersections such as Pleasant Park, Hatkesh, and Silver Park. The structure can withstand heavy traffic, including multi-axle vehicles, and it meets all applicable regulations. It has modern features including signage and lighting, and its design is influenced by the Metro Red Line, MMRDA said in their communique.
