Twin-Arm Flyover Aims to Cut Navi Mumbai‑Pune Commute
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation wants to build a new flyover with two lanes on each side at a busy intersection called the Sion‑Panvel Highway.
This flyover will link the junction to another road called the Ghatkopar Mankhurd Link Road.
Right now, cars get stuck for more than 15 minutes at this spot.
The new flyover should let cars move faster and make the trip between Navi Mumbai and Pune shorter.
It is a big project that will help many people who drive every day.
BMC plans a twin‑arm flyover at the Sion‑Panvel Highway.
The flyover will connect the junction to the Ghatkopar Mankhurd Link Road.
Current traffic jams at the T‑junction cause over 15‑minute delays.
The project aims to reduce travel time between Navi Mumbai and Pune.
Construction is intended to ease congestion at a major choke‑point.
