Phase I of Andheri-JVLR flyover project, to be opened by June 2026
Three major projects that will bring relief to thousands of motorists will see the light of day in 2026, not least of which is the much-awaited missing link project on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, bypassing the treacherous ghat section, which is expected to be opened by next May or June.
To ease traffic congestion and improve east-west connectivity between Andheri and Jogeshwari, the BMC had proposed a 5.08-km flyover linking New Link Road near Infiniti Mall in Andheri West with Poonam Nagar on the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road in Jogeshwari East.
