Mumbai: Mankhurd traffic bottleneck to end

MUMBAI: A major bottleneck on the Sion-Panvel highway near Mankhurd will be a thing of the past within a year as Maharail has undertaken widening of the Mankhurd road over bridge (ROB).

Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation also known as MahaRail is entrusted with responsibility of constructing ROBs across Maharashtra by the state Public Works Department (PWD). This ROB is between Mankhurd and Govandi stations below which run the CSMT-Panvel Harbour line tracks. A Maharail spokesperson said, “The widening of the road over bridge is underway at a fast pace as we have planned to open the revamped ROB by the middle of 2023.”
