Almost three years after starting work on the Borivli flyover, the BMC has come up with a new proposal revising the cost of construction to Rs 651 crore, almost four times of what had been approved in 2018 — Rs 161 crore. The administration has cited extension of the flyover as the reason for the escalated cost.
Work of the flyover on S V Road near Kora Kendra, which started on November 15, 2018, has been pending for years. It is supposed to connect RM Bhattad Marg to SV Road junction and was expected to be complete within two years.
