Goyal Orders Flyover Resurfacing, Announces Peak‑Hour Heavy‑Vehicle Ban on Mumbai’s WEH

The directive follows a five-hour review with senior city officials.

Overview

  • Resurfacing of the Aarey, Vakola and Vikhroli flyovers was ordered to improve traffic flow on MSRDC structures.
  • Traffic police were told to deploy additional personnel on the Western Express Highway, with three choke points identified for quick resolution.
  • Heavy vehicles will be barred during peak hours on the WEH, with exemptions for metro work fleets and BMC garbage trucks, and implementation by traffic police after required formalities.
  • Seventy-nine toilets along the corridor will be repaired and made fully operational, with elevated designs under consideration where land is limited.
  • The review also covered PPP-led rejuvenation of 10 lakes, STPs for the Dahisar and Poisar rivers, month-end deadlines for pipeline leak repairs, and strict action on wetland and mangrove encroachments following debris removal in SGNP.
