Project overview
- Before the initiation of the triple-flyover project, Chheda Nagar junction had only one flyover to take traffic in the direction of Sion from Thane. This was one-way, without a north-bound arm
| Length:650m | Lanes:2 |
| Opened: March 2022 | Cost: Rs 52cr |
- Thus, traffic piles up on the north-bound carriageway as vehicles halt at the signal to take a right turn for GMLR. This movement also holds up traffic from GMLR to Mulund via EEH
| Length:1.2 km | Lanes:2 |
| Opened: April 2023 | Cost:Rs94 cr |
- After being on the drawing board for years, work began on the triple-flyover project in July 2018. It has taken five and six years for the first and second flyovers to be finished
Cost: Rs58cr
