January 24, 2026: Construction of the flyover between Dindoshi Court and Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari under Mumbai’s Goregaon–Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project is nearing completion, with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) aiming to open the structure to traffic by May 31, 2026.
Civic officials said work on the flyover is progressing at a steady pace, with nearly 75% of construction completed. Of the 31 planned pillars, 30 have already been erected. Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar inspected the site on Thursday and directed the project team to accelerate the remaining work. He instructed officials to deploy additional manpower and machinery to ensure the flyover is opened before the onset of the monsoon.
According to the BMC, structural work is advancing in line with the project schedule. Construction activities currently underway include bridge span erection, deck slab casting, and development of solid approach roads on both the eastern and western sides. Of the total 30 bridge spans planned for the flyover, 17 spans have been completed, while work on the remaining 13 spans is in progress and expected to be wrapped up shortly.
The flyover forms part of Phase 3(A) of the Goregaon–Mulund Link Road project, which is being executed in four phases. Phase 3(A) also includes the construction of an elevated rotary to streamline traffic movement. The flyover itself is being developed in two sections, covering both the Goregaon and Mulund sides. Starting near Dindoshi Court, the alignment takes a 90-degree turn near Ratnagiri Junction Hotel before descending close to Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari.
Once completed, the GMLR will become Mumbai’s fourth major east–west corridor, providing a direct link between the eastern and western suburbs. Spanning 12.20 kilometres, the project is expected to significantly ease congestion in north Mumbai. Travel time between Goregaon and Mulund is projected to drop from about 75 minutes to nearly 25 minutes, while also contributing to fuel savings and improvements in the city’s Air Quality Index.
Officials said construction is being carried out in accordance with prescribed safety, structural stability and traffic load standards. Executive Engineer (Bridges) Naresh Meghrajani and other senior officials were present during the inspection.
