Mith Chowky T-Shaped Flyover becomes operational for traffic from October 6
Reportedly, the Mith Chowky in Malad (west) was recognised for its aggravating traffic congestion. The four-arm junction manages heavy traffic from Madh Island, Kandivali, Borivali, Andheri, and Versova.
The one-lane T-shaped flyover constructed at Mith Chowky, connecting from Marve to the Western Express Highway (WEH), became operational for traffic from 6 October. Meanwhile, the other side of the flyover, extending from Marve to Goregaon, is expected to become operational by the end of December.
However, the flyover will only be accessible to light vehicles due to height restrictions imposed by the elevated route of the Dahisar to Andheri (West) Metro-2 project.
This T-shaped flyover has come up to alleviate the long wait times at this bottleneck.
As per the plan, one arm of the flyover will enable motorists heading to Malad station and the WEH to bypass the congested traffic island. The southbound arm will facilitate smoother travel for commuters heading toward Infinity Mall, Andheri, Juhu, and Bandra. The lane from Marve to the WEH measures 390 meters in length and 8 meters in width.The estimated cost of the flyover is around Rs. 55 crores.
Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, inaugurated one lane of the flyover at Mith Chowky, along with the newly constructed municipal school building in Malwani Township on Sunday.
