The flyover is set to significantly enhance traffic flow and alleviate congestion at key junctions on Mira Road, officials said

Metro Line 9 is an extension of the Red Line from Andheri to the Mumbai International Airport and Dahisar to Mira Road

"The double-decker flyover in the Mumbai metropolitan region marks a significant achievement for Mumbai and Maharashtra. This project addresses traffic issues, saves time and fuel, and is a testament to modern technology and efficient planning. It will accelerate the development of MMR and improve overall traffic flow and commuter comfort," CM Shinde said

The flyover was built using advanced technology with separate levels for metro and road transport, aimed at saving 8 to 10 minutes of travel time for commuters and reducing fuel consumption, according to officials

It features modern amenities, including furniture, signage, and lighting, in line with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highway`s regulations

The flyover construction faced significant challenges, including the relocation of the main double-circuit Dahanu-Versova power line, which was shifted about 3 km and elevated to 75 meters, making it the second-highest power channel in Maharashtra
