And then there is always new flyovers coming up in every T Junction as if we are trying to set a new world record of having the maximum number of flyovers in a city.
Need to have a solution to this problem and sooner the better , looking at the cars on road to only increasing day by day (Read new cars launch in mumbai).
I and my friend Milind , we were having a very hearty talk on the same and thinking of some solution to the problem of ever-increasing problem. After giving it some real thought , i remembered my trip to Taiwan in 1997 where i remembered few really important features.
Once we landed on the Airport , and packed our luggage and got in the car and left, we had already hit a so called 'expressway' which actually lead us to our uncle's home which was 35 kms. away from the Airport. We had no stops, no signals, no lane changing and no havaldar to ask for 'youknowwhat'.
it was just a smooth ride uptill home. The only time we took a turn was when we left the 'expressway' to a colony where my uncle's home lay.
My point i want to put forth is that we need to look at a flyover which streches to the lengths and depths of Mumbai. And for us we are lucky that Mumbai is a far more straighter city than any other. Let me put it this way, how about a 'Flyover' which starts from Mankhurd and ends in Nariman Point? why make different smaller flyovers here and there. And the best part is you can have left-right exits where ever there is needed. imagine having a 4 lane or 6 lane flyover in a length of 35-40 kms whooshing away the length which is suspended 15 ft - 20ft over all the nuances of everyday life. Imagine the time we save.
To illustrate my idea, it will a very long extended version of JJ Flyover from both sides. Another could be if we had the mumbai-pune expressway in mumbai. give it a thought , share your ideas in the comments below.
Don't Think 4-5 years from now , think 10-15 years , then you will progress - Moksh Juneja (at least this saying goes well for mumbai roads)
