Dear Sir,
Flyover at this junction was to be completed by end of May earlier but later on date was extended to 31st July. July has passed and it seems that work will take eternal to complete. Everyday commuters have to go through a nightmare while crossing this junction but no authorities pay any heed as the area does not fall under the VIP movement like Airport flyover.
Its appalling to see every day precious fuel burnt by lines of vehicles and manhours lost while waiting to cross this junction. Insensitivity of authorities to expedite work shows that how far as a nation we are in terms of Infrastructure development. Construction technique used by the contractor can be best described as crass and outdated.

Please raise this issue and get the work expedited.

Regards
Parveen

I do travel the stretch on a daily basis and find it extremely irritating, as it takes almost an hour to cross from Dindoshi towards Pushpa Park..

Off late, I get down from the bus near Pathanwadi and then take a rick towards Kedarmal road (i.e. off the highway)..But find bumper-to-bumper traffic even there...So we are left with no option but to go through the daily grind...

I did read at a few places about that the flyover is expected to start in July end, but i see no signs of that happening..

It would be great if all those suffering because of this huge traffic come together and stage a protest or something...Only then will we get to see some quick action..

Could someone take some initiative..

Are we really in the times, where democracy is the norm of life. I think it was much better, when the tyrants were ruling our lives.They looted their subjects, made them to fight in the battles between sultanates and levied heavy taxes, after spending all the royal khajana on these never ending wars. These people were tyrants and they were supposed to behave that way.

But guys those Nijams and Aadilshahs seem to have reborn. The governments which are elected by us, conviniently forgets the fact that, they were elected to serve people, make thier lives better and contribute to some extent to the progress of our nation.

This delyed flyover is the living example of, how insensitive our politicians are, to the lives of the common people. Its been two years, the construction of this flyover is going on and things seem to go nowhere. Every time there is a new date given, but we don't see any kind of steps being taken to expediate the work and relieve people from their daily grind.

The passage that would have hardly taken 10 minutes, takes more than an hour at times. Doesn't the loss of fuel and time for so many people right from 5:30 in the evening till 10 at night multiplied by number of vehicles during that time, add up to our national loss. Where are we going ?

Its really admirable of "Mr. Ali Patankar" to have taken time to write to the RTI officers or even the MSRDC and trying to follow up on this painful issue, with whatever means he can. Looks like nobody seem to be concerned about this problem and people (including me) just crib about this, while spending those dreadful minutes waiting for the vehciles to move.

I think we just have to come down on roads, just all those who are suffering everyday and stop that road completely till the government steps in and promises a date. But then we Mumbaikars are so busy going through everyday choirs, that it will require humangous will power to just end this problem by whatver means we can and prove the point that we are not dead. People power still matters and government will have to yield, if we come on roads.

Right now no work is happening on the flyover is there a end date for the same?

Dear All,

Thanks a ton for all your kind responses. Please note that this is really very serious issue and we must take this to the higher authorities strongly.

I request all the frequent travelers of this route to please come up with some intelligent plan to tackle with this big issue. Remember its not only we as a travelers are loosing money, health, time and resources but it’s a big loss of our great nation natural resources too.

Please suggest at the earliest.

Regards,

Ali Patankar.

Heard from some that the flyover will open on Oct 2nd, 2009. Looking at progress it seems to be true but am not sure of our BMC/MMRDA or MSRDC.

Praying that it opens on Oct 2nd.

Was travelling from Andheri to Kanidvali on 1st Oct night @ 12.30 A.M. (2nd Oct early morning). the flyover was open at that time of the night, i drove onto the flyover, there was a politician kind on the flyover with all narebazi. But the next day morning onwards, it was closed again

Dear Sir,

I am a daily traveller from Borivali to Bandra and back.Everyday i face severe bottlenecks at goregaon (Oberoi Mall flyover & Aaarey flyover ) and on the return journey also at andheri.The width of the flyovers is far less than th elanes that precede it.We all need to come together and provide solutions to MSRDC / MMRDA ( eg Dividers to separate outbound vehicles).

The Western Express highway is in real bad shape on both sides of the Dahisar Check naka.
I guess it should be maintained by the company collecting toll everyday. It does not look like a highway. Both Govt and Municipal body should check on the conditions and force the companies to maintain the roads they are charging the toll for.

dear sir,
i would like to draw your kind attention that this fly over is open for transport now.
but i have certain querry about use of this flyover (under the bridge )to reach malad west and from malad e to come on the highway towards Goregaon side.

1) when this junction will be open for use , for traffic under the bridge
if not supposed that why we have constructed the bridge.
thanks

Sir,

May I request the concerned to please look into the condition of the Times of India Flyover, Malad. THe condition of the flover which is barely a year old is really pathetic. The rains are over, but there has been no repair works carried out esp. on the side, travelling from Kandivali to Goregaon.

Request you to please look into the same at the earliest or there may be a need to rebuild the flyover again.
