The steel slope of ramp at the western side of the long-pending east-west flyover at Kora Kendra, Borivli has now raised concerns over safety of vehicles. However, BMC officials have clarified that there is no need to worry as per the safety standards and added that the ramp is on the steep side due to space crunch.

“The slope is not that sharp. A slope of 1:20 gradient is considered safe and the ramp is within this limit. The design was finalised after maintaining a certain height on S V Road and the other cross road where the flyover ends. The flyover is safe for vehicular movement,” said Satish Thosar, chief engineer of the bridges department of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
