Mumbai's civic body will demolish the INR 27 crore Veer Savarkar flyover at Goregaon-opened in 2018-and replace it with a double-deck elevated bridge. Additional Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar confirmed the move, noting that the new structure will better handle both local traffic and regional connectivity. The bridge, part of the Coastal Road 2 project, will directly link the Malad-Mindspace stretch with the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road, easing bottlenecks.
