The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday, September 8, reopened the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd flyover for four-wheelers and light-weight business auto days. However, the flyover remains shut for two-wheelers and heavy autos.

This development comes one week after partially shutting the 2.9-km-long Ghatkopar-Mankhurd flyover for repair works owing to frequent accidents.
BMC’s bridges department official said that the lane towards Mankhurd and the lane towards Ghatkopar has been reopened.
“We have installed around five-speed breakers each on one side to ensure vehicles follow the speed limit. Along with this, we have also made the surface rough on both sides,” an official was quoted as saying by HT.

Meanwhile, Kishore Shinde, senior inspector of Mankhurd traffic police, mentioned that the flyover is shut for two-wheelers as a precautionary measure for a period of one month. The flyover will remain shut for heavy vehicles too as a high-tension wire above the flyover is yet to be removed. Currently, the movement of light vehicles and light commercial vehicles is allowed.
A month after its inauguration, on September 1, BMC had partially shut the lane towards Mankhurd for maintenance work after an uproar among motorists over several accidents.
