Now, travellers will certainly be able commute conveniently, which means with less traffic, from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) to South Mumbai from next week.
According to reports, a flyover connecting Terminal 2 (T2) of the international airport via the Sahar Elevated Road over the Western Express Highway (WEH), is expected to be ready by February 15.
The 790-metre-long flyover will help motorists bypass the perennially choc-o-bloc Vile Parle traffic signal outside the domestic terminal on WEH.
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) officials said that this flyover on WEH flyover is almost complete barring a few miscellaneous works. Therefore, they are anticipating that it will be opened by February 15.
Though, sources said it’s not clear when the elevated road will be open for motorists. Later this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to inaugurate some infrastructure projects in Mumbai that also includes the Coastal Road. However, it remains to be seen if the elevated flyover will be one of them. The construction of the flyover began in June 2021 at a provisional cost of ₹48.43 crore.
