Four months ago, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) inaugurated the newly constructed flyover at Vile Parle on the Western Express Highway (WEH). However, after just one month of rain, the road surface on the flyover has started to deteriorate, resulting in an uneven surface.
Motorists who use the flyover daily are now questioning the quality of the construction work. Activist Zoru Bhathena posted pictures on Twitter on Monday, showing the approach road of the flyover coming apart. Bhathena said, “It is a matter of shame that a new flyover that was opened a few months back on WEH near Vile Parle has developed uneven road surface and potholes.”
