The absence of reflectors on the concrete dividers at the beginning of the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road bridge has become a cause for concern, leading to accidents. On September 8, a car collided with one of the dividers, as the driver wasn’t able to spot it, while taking the flyover. According to sources, if the authorities do not address the situation, there could be more accidents on the stretch in the future.
The 2.9-km-long-flyover is an essential link connecting Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Pune. After it opened, traffic congestion at key intersections, including Shivaji Nagar junction, Bainganwadi and the Deonar dump reduced. The BMC had introduced height barriers and concrete blocks to separate the lanes on the flyover, after restricting entry to two-wheelers and heavy vehicles. Incidents of cars hitting these blocks have increased since then.
