The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has charted plans for a new 4.24-km flyover linking Kurla and Ghatkopar along the LBS Marg. The project is estimated to cost INR 1,635 crore and expected to be completed in nearly four years.
On Saturday, November 15, the civic body floated a tender inviting multidisciplinary engineering organisations to execute the project work.
The flyover is proposed to commence from Kalpana Talkies in the L ward (Kurla) along the LBS Marg and land near the Pankhe Shah Dargah in Ghatkopar (N ward).
Of its total length, the preliminary designs estimate the length of the main carriageways at 3.91 km (3,918 metres) while the landing ramps are estimated to have a length of 146 metres on the Kurla side and 180 metres on the Ghatkopar side.
Officials stated that the flyover will comprise four lanes, with a total width of 16.5 metres.
Additionally, the flyover is proposed to comprise three additional upward and downward arms, spanning a total length of 695 metres. According to the BMC, the structure will be constructed in steel girders with RCC deck slab superstructures.
Currently, the existing route between Kurla and Ghatkopar, which runs along the LBS Marg route, is plagued by several traffic choke points, including key junctions that link the Andheri Ghatkopar Link Road (AGLR), Ghatkopar railway station, and Sant Narsi Mehta Road.
