In order to avoid confusion and delays, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has proposed to hand over the Bal Thackeray flyover extension project at Jogeshwari to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), considering its interlay with the Metro VI (Swami Samarth Nagar to Kanjurmarg). An official decision on the cost-sharing agreement is still pending.

The proposed alignment of the flyover extension at Jogeshwari is the same as that of Metro VI, thus jeopardising both projects for over two years. Following a detailed design study of the projects, the BMC has concluded that two separate agencies working on the same alignment will not just cause delays, but also escalate the cost of the project.
