Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis on Friday announced the public opening of the new Vikhroli Road Overbridge (ROB) on Saturday from 4 pm.

"The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has completed the very important 615-metre bridge connecting Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg in Vikhroli to the Eastern Expressway, heartiest congratulations to them! During the monsoon season, often, there are traffic jams on Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, causing inconvenience to commuters. Considering this, I, along with my colleagues, Deputy Chief Minister Eknathrao Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Ajitdada Pawar, have decided to open this bridge for citizens without waiting for any official ceremony," Fadnavis said.

"When I was the Chief Minister, I had ordered this work in 2018. A total of Rs 104.77 crore was spent on it. In order to avoid any inconvenience to Mumbaikars during monsoon, we have instructed the municipal commissioner and the police to open this bridge for traffic from 4 pm on Saturday, June 14, 2025," Fadnavis added.
