Officials mull over keeping 2, 3-wheelers off Eastern Freeway

Considering the possibility of ugly traffic snarls and accidents, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and other government authorities are contemplating banning two- and three-wheelers on the Eastern Freeway that would connect South Mumbai with the eastern suburbs. The freeway that would join Orange Gate in South Mumbai with Ghatkopar is expected to tackle traffic woes for motorists travelling between the two points.
