The killer spot along the Western Express Highway (WEH), on Akurli Road in Kandivli East, has finally been fixed by the MMRDA and the bridge is open for vehicles five years after its construction began. However, just a few hours after the inauguration on Tuesday night, heavy rain damaged the stretch and potholes started to emerge.

The blind spot was one of the worst along the WEH, resulting in the deaths of 6-7 people, with more than 20 injured after their vehicles met with an accident due to poor road design. The uneven road level, with dividers and paver blocks placed in between, led to many accidents.
