Motorists using the Eastern Express Highway and the Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road might get relief from nightmarish traffic jams by Sunday. Sources said authorities have speeded up the repairs on JVLR and that of the seven expansion joints of the flyover, five have already been replaced. After the northbound arm of JVLR was closed for repairs, motorists have been complaining of a hellish time during morning and evening peak hours. The lane on the Eastern Express Highway and the JVLR—towards Thane—often remain choked till Powai.
