Stuck in red tape since 2018, the project for construction of a crucial road overbridge in Vidyavihar got a push on Thursday, following some activism by BJP leader and Lok Sabha MP Manoj Kotak. Vidyavihar, which has major educational institutions and public hospitals, needed faster east-west connectivity, hence, the bridge was planned.

The work order was issued in April 2018 with a deadline of November 2020. In its absence, commuters have to take a detour through Ghatkopar or Kurla stations.
