Mumbai recently welcomed a new flyover near Mith Chowky in the Malvani area, which was inaugurated by Union Minister and local Member of Parliament (MP) Piyush Goyal. The 800-metre-long flyover has two arms extending towards the eastern and southern sides, originating near Girdhar Park Bridge in Malvani and passing above the Malad Creek, extending above the Mith Chowky traffic junction. This new infrastructure is expected to alleviate traffic congestion in the area, providing a smoother commute for residents and commuters passing through this busy junction.
Prior to the inauguration, there was a visible display of political banners from different outfits, with both Congress and BJP workers gathering to claim credit for the project. Local legislator Aslam Shaikh also made an appearance at the venue to address his supporters. The construction of the flyover began approximately two years ago, and its completion marks a significant improvement in the infrastructure of the area.
In addition to the flyover inauguration, Union Minister Piyush Goyal also unveiled a statue of freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar at Veer Savarkar Chowk in Malad West. This gesture pays tribute to Savarkar’s immense contribution to the country and serves as an inspiration to the public.
Furthermore, Goyal inaugurated a garden at Akshay Co-operative Housing Society in the Unnat Nagar area of Goregaon, emphasizing the importance of providing recreational spaces for residents of all ages. The garden not only offers children ample space to play but also creates a conducive and clean environment for women, youth, and the elderly. This initiative promotes peace of mind, physical well-being, and environmental conservation in the community.
The inauguration of the flyover in Malad follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent unveiling of various initiatives totaling over Rs 32,800 crore in Thane. These initiatives include the Thane Integral Ring Metro Rail Project, Elevated Eastern Freeway Extension, and the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) project. PM Modi also inaugurated the BKC to Aarey JVLR section of Mumbai Metro Line 3, a crucial public transport project aimed at enhancing urban mobility in the region. Once fully operational, Mumbai Metro Line 3 is expected to serve around 12 lakh passengers daily, significantly improving commuting between the city and suburbs.
The recent infrastructure developments in Mumbai reflect a concerted effort to enhance transportation, connectivity, and public amenities in the city, ultimately benefiting residents and commuters alike. The inauguration of the new flyover near Mith Chowky marks a significant step towards improving traffic flow and accessibility in the Malvani area, demonstrating the government’s commitment to enhancing urban infrastructure for the welfare of the public.
