Worli Flyover and Subway Target January 2027 Completion
The Nehru Science Centre and Nehru Planetarium are close to each other in Worli.
Drivers currently have to take a longer route through the busy Worli Naka.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is building a flyover and subway to create a more direct route.
The new link will connect E Moses Road and Annie Besant Road.
It is being built over the Nehru Science Centre drain.
The project is expected to be completed by January 31, 2027.
Drivers could save as much as 15 minutes on this trip.
Officials said much of the foundation and structural work has already been completed.
They are also preparing a traffic plan with the traffic police for the remaining work.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation set January 31, 2027, as the completion deadline for the Worli flyover and subway.
The project will directly connect E Moses Road with Annie Besant Road over the Nehru Science Centre drain.
The link is intended to bypass the congested Worli Naka and eliminate a nearly 2-kilometre detour.

The project includes a 571-metre flyover, and officials reported substantial progress on piling, piers, beams, girders and deck slabs.
