Union commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday( 6 October 2024) inaugurated the one-lane T-shaped flyover constructed at Mith Chowky for light vehicles in Malad, Mumbai.

Key Points

• The 800-metre-long flyover has two arms extending towards the eastern and southern sides.
• The flyover originates near Girdhar Park Bridge in Malvani and passes above the Malad Creek, extending above the Mith Chowky traffic junction.
• Mith Chowky, notorious for its traffic congestion, is a four-arm junction that manages heavy traffic from Madh Island, Kandivali, Borivali, Andheri, and Versova.
• This bridge is expected to alleviate severe traffic congestion in the area, particularly for vehicles moving from Marve and Malwani towards Malad railway station, allowing them to bypass the busy junction below.
