The new arm of the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road flyover, built at a cost of Rs 11 crore for dumpers and trucks, has turned out to be a waste of money as high-tension cables running overhead make it impossible for heavy vehicles to ply. There is a plan to relocate the wires, but it is over a year with nothing done yet.
Almost two years after the new arm of the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road flyover was opened, heavy vehicles cannot use it due to the presence of high-tension wire overhead. The link between the Deonar dumping ground and the flyover was constructed using additional funds, to provide connectivity primarily to solid waste dumpers that transport the city’s waste to the dumping ground. The bridge was opened for traffic in 2021. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) spent an additional Rs 11 core while constructing the flyover for the approximately 250-metre-long connector.
