You will be happy to note that Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan inaugurated the southbound stretch of the Kherwadi flyover yesterday. Yet, if you drive over it, you can see the flyover is still incomplete. One can observe that the crash barriers haven’t been properly affixed, and scaffolding is still set up at some places to put in the finishing touches.

Inaugurating the three lanes, the CM said, “The project has been completed on time and with precision. The northern arm shall be ready in the next 7-8 months.” But, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) seems to have been hasty in opening the flyover for traffic.
