Independent flyover for Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority’s (JNPA) fourth (Singapore) port connecting Karal to Jaskhar route has been completed. The bridge will be opened for container traffic from August. A 700 metre long double decker flyover from Karal multiway flyover to Jaskhar has been constructed at a cost of INR 68 crore. This will help reduce traffic congestion and congestion of container traffic through Karal to Jaskhar flyover.
In JNPA, Singapore Port (Bharat Mumbai Container Terminal) is being constructed as the fourth port of 2000 metres length through privatisation. The first phase of this fourth port costing INR 8000 crore has been completed and the second phase has started.

The aim is to transport 5 million containers per year through this port. For this purpose, JNPA had entrusted the construction of an independent road connecting the fourth port to the National Highways Authority of India (NHI) Company. The remaining work of this bridge will be completed in a day. After that, the flyover will be handed over to JNPA and the JNPA administration will decide when to open it for traffic, said Yashwant Ghotkar, Joint Manager of NHIA.
