Belasis Flyover Ready 4 Months Early, But Inauguration Delayed: Mumbaikars Frustrated

• The Belasis flyover, connecting Tardeo-Nagpada and Mumbai Central, was completed 4 months ahead of schedule in just 15 months and 6 days.
• Despite completion and safety certifications, the bridge remains unopened, causing public dissatisfaction and traffic woes.
• The delay is attributed to senior leaders not having time for the inauguration, despite the BMC completing all works on a war footing.
• Closure of the old bridge forces motorists in Mumbai Central, Tardeo, and Byculla to take long detours, increasing travel time by 30-40 minutes.
• Ambulances heading to Nair and J.J. Hospitals are also affected by the traffic congestion, impacting emergency services.
