After numerous delays and the threat of cancellation, plans for the ambitious Juhu-Vile Parle Development Scheme's (JVPD) flyover are back on track. The alignment of the flyover that will connect the Western Express Highway (WEH) and the Bandra-Versova Sea Link now has a tweaked alignment and will cross the Airport Authority land in Andheri West. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has finalised the draft for the 1.5-kilometre-long stretch, likely to cost over R150 crore.
Currently, the area faces severe congestion and reaching the WEH from Versova takes around 45 minutes. The upcoming project connecting the Juhu-Versova Link Road to the highway is expected to bring the commute down to 20 minutes. Having been planned over seven years ago, the flyover was put in abeyance after the announcement of Metro II, as the position of ESIC Nagar station clashed with the flyover's alignment.
