Car owners in Mumbai and surrounding areas have paid ₹120.84 crore in toll for using the Eastern and Western Express Highways in the first half of 2023, according to data from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation. The toll is for the flyovers and bridges across the city, not the highways themselves, said Radheshyam Mopalwar, managing director of MSRDC, in response to a demand from a local politician to stop charging motorists for using the highways. Toll rates for cars are ₹40 for one way. | Mumbai news
BMC is building the bridge to provide direct east-west access linking Vidyavihar with Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg and Ramkrishna Chemburkar Marg. The flyover will also provide pedestrians with direct access to platforms.
