Motorists travelling from the airport terminal-2 (T2) to Bandra via the Western Express Highway (WEH) will be able to use the newly constructed flyover starting tomorrow or the latest by Sunday, as Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has plans to do the inauguration on Saturday. Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray on Friday had once again pointed out that the flyover inauguration was pending for three weeks.
Thackeray had criticised the authorities for delaying the flyover`s opening earlier as well. On Friday he tweeted about the delayed inauguration again. “The Coastal Road will be partially opened to people tomorrow, after a long delay of dates since February 19. This only shows how the VIP culture has been fuelled by the BJP, to claim credit for the work not done by them. Reminder: 1) Domestic airport flyover inauguration, pending for 3 weeks now. 2) Pune’s new terminal building inauguration pending for 6 months now. 3) Pune’s metro rail from Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi, pending for 3 months. Is the wait for election date declaration so important that people can be hassled but inaugurations won’t be done?”
