Taking serious cognisance of mid-day reports highlighting how motorists were executing illegal left turns through a gap in a barrier at the southern end of the Aarey Milk Colony flyover on the Western Express Highway, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has plugged the opening with concrete.

On Tuesday, when mid-day visited the spot, civic workers could be seen applying concrete in the gap to prevent motorists from taking a left turn, thereby accessing a service road. The following day, the work had been completed. However, this reporter saw a few two-wheeler riders taking U-turns further south from the spot and riding back in the direction of oncoming vehicles, increasing the chances of accidents.
