Motorists using the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) and Eastern Express Highway (EEH) have alleged that the openings of the flyover at Chheda Nagar on the EEH and the elevated portion of the bridge on SCLR are deliberately being delayed by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), though the work is complete.
Some have even alleged that MMRDA is holding off the openings because they are waiting for time from ministers in the state government. Commuters claimed that the bridge portion that will assist drivers in getting around the traffic jam at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) intersection is ready and should be opened as soon as possible.
