Suman Nagar railway underbridge to open before rains

MUMBAI: The 200-m-long Suman Nagar railway underbridge is slated to be open for public before the monsoon.
MMRDA officials said three of the four lanes will be opened to public, making it easier for motorists to drive under the railway bridge without any hindrance.
The weather bureau has said that it expects the monsoon to arrive in Mumbai on June 10.“We are trying to get everything ready by early June but it might be delayed by a few days,” an MMRDA official said.
With the opening of the three lanes, the motorists will now be able to commute through seven lanes—four are already open to public. The main beneficiaries will be people travelling to Pune and those coming to Mumbai. The underbridge, which is situated at the V N Purav Marg and the Eastern Express Highway, has been built by the MSRDC.
The MSRDC demolished embankments under the bridge to build four new lanes for south-bound traffic. The existing four lanes can be used for north-bound traffic. The cost of the underbridge is Rs 12 crore; it has been financed by MMRDA.
The 500-m Suman Nagar flyover was opened to the public several months ago.It eased traffic flow for people headed to Pune but things slowed down when traffic from Navi Mumbai reached the railway undebridge.
