New Flyover Planned to Ease Traffic in South Mumbai
The government is building a new cable-stayed flyover in South Mumbai to ease traffic congestion.
It will link the Y-Bridge to the JJ Flyover, avoiding busy areas.
The new design replaces the old Y-Bridge which was found structurally unsound.
The project is being done in phases to minimize traffic issues, and should ease congestion from the Eastern Express Highway.
The new flyover will have eight lanes compared to the old bridge's six, and it will give access to the Eastern Freeway as well as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link.
BMC floated bids for an Rs 805-crore cable-stayed flyover.
The flyover will connect the Y-Bridge in Byculla to the JJ Flyover.
The project aims to ease traffic congestion in South Mumbai.
The existing Y-Bridge, built in 1922, was found to be structurally unsound.
The new design will have eight lanes compared to the old bridge's six.
