Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis virtually inaugurated Mumbai’s new Vidyavihar railway overbridge on Thursday. Connecting Ramchandra Chemburkar Marg and Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, the flyover is expected to reduce travel time between the eastern and western sides of Vidyavihar from around 30 minutes to 10 minutes.
