MMRDA Debunks Viral Claim: Mira Bhayandar Flyover Design Not Flawed

  • MMRDA clarified that the Mira Bhayandar flyover's transition from four to two lanes is not a design flaw but due to road width constraints and future planning.
  • A viral video by 'Gems of Mira Bhayandar' on X alleged the flyover 'suddenly narrows', sparking criticism ahead of its February inauguration.
  • The flyover is a double-decker structure, part of Metro Line 9 connecting Andheri West to Mira Bhayandar, executed by J Kumar Infraprojects.
  • MMRDA explained that two lanes are for Bhayandar East traffic, with future connecting lanes for Bhayandar West to be added later.
  • Safety measures like rumble strips, delineators, signage, and anti-crash barriers are incorporated, with traffic police input sought before opening.

Why It Matters: MMRDA clarifies Mira Bhayandar flyover's lane transition is planned, not a design flaw, addressing viral claims.
