elevated pedestrian corridor

Mumbai is seeing its biggest infrastructure push yet with new expressways, a 16-line metro network, a second international airport, sea links and tunnels. Will it reshape how the city functions? Will it change where its people live and work? Will it improve the quality of life in India’s buzziest metropolis?

Key stretches squeezed by encroached footpaths, poor planning too; multilevel facilities far from markets find few takers

12-km, six-lane elevated corridor with underpasses from Saket to Pul Prahladpur, aligned with DMRC, aims to ease chronic congestion and improve connectivity to Gurgaon and Faridabad

Chennai is experiencing a significant flyover boom, with new elevated corridors like Anna Salai and Madhya Kailash aiming to reduce commute times and traffic congestion. While offering relief, these projects also raise concerns about construction quality, pedestrian safety, and the long-term effectiveness of flyovers in managing the city's growing traffic demands.

A passer-by was injured after an iron rod, used for structural support, slipped and rebounded off a barricade during construction on the Worli–Sewri elevated corridor. The rod struck the man on the head, requiring four stitches. The incident has prompted a review of on-site safety measures near pedestrian areas.

Travel north from Kolkata will soon be much faster. The upgraded Kalyani Expressway is set to open on March 2. This new corridor features 21 signal-free flyovers. It will drastically cut travel time to AIIMS Kalyani to about 45 minutes. The project will also ease congestion in Barasat and improve airport access for several districts.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has instructed its build operate transfer (BOT) concessionaires PNG Tollways Pvt Ltd to put up suggestion boards at the entries of the elevated corridor to prohibit pedestrians from taking the flyover.
