Overview
- The plan is tied to the Versova–Dahisar Link Road and Coastal Road Phase II, creating a single‑pier, two‑level bridge linking the Malad–Mindspace stretch to Dindoshi.
- Civic officials say modifying the seven‑year‑old span would cost nearly as much as rebuilding, which drove the decision to construct a new structure.
- Residents and local leaders continue to resist the move, with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena warning of agitation over expected traffic disruption.
- Early connector activity was seen at Dindoshi in August, yet officials indicate the flyover need not be removed during the post‑monsoon fair season.
- Built in 2018 for about Rs 27 crore, the flyover sharply cut Goregaon–Malad travel times, intensifying concerns about congestion during any closure.
