The Princess Street flyover at Marine lines station which was partially closed for repairs will now completely reopen for traffic on Monday. This is the first time the five decades-old flyover is undergoing repair work in its expansion joints. The cost of the project is Rs 60 lakhs.

The iconic flyover which overlooks Marine drive was constructed 50 years ago and has 36 expansion joints. Expansion joints are the ones which take care of the contraction and expansion of a bridge owing to changing seasons.
