The BMC has finally passed the proposal to construct a flyover from Juhu Vile Parle Development (JVPD) Scheme circle, popularly known as Juhu Circle, to Mayor Hall on Barfiwala Road. The 1.65-km-long flyover, which has been in talks since 2016, will be built at a cost of R650.90 crore and will reduce the travel time from Juhu to Western Express Highway to 10 minutes from the existing 45 minutes.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation started planning for this flyover in 2016 and accordingly appointed two consultants. Due to the presence of a Metro station, the civic body changed the path of the flyover so that it passes parallel to the Metro line. This route goes over land owned by the Airport Authority of India. The proposal passed last week by BMC chief Iqbal Singh Chahal stated that the civic body has paid Rs 11.16 crore to the Airport Authority of India for allowing construction of flyover pillars on their land.
