CM Devendra Fadnavis inaugurates key Tardeo-Nagpada-Mumbai Central flyover
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday virtually inaugurated the Tardeo-Nagpada-Mumbai Central flyover, a crucial east-west connector aimed at easing traffic congestion in south Mumbai.
The flyover links key areas including Tardeo, Nagpada and Mumbai Central railway station, offering commuters a smoother alternative route. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde was also present during the virtual inauguration.
The new structure replaces a 130-year-old British-era bridge at Mumbai Central that had been declared unsafe and dismantled, disrupting connectivity in the area for nearly two years.
The flyover spans a total length of 333 metres, comprising 138.39 metres on the eastern side, 157.39 metres on the western side, and 36.90 metres within railway limits. It features a 7-metre-wide carriageway along with pedestrian-friendly footpaths on both sides.
Officials said the project is expected to significantly reduce congestion on key arterial roads such as Jehangir Boman Behram Road (earlier Bellasis Road), Dr Dadasaheb Bhadkamkar Marg (Grant Road), Pathe Bapurao Marg, and the Mahalaxmi station bridge.
