With the funding of World Bank under the MUTP, the civic administration has proposed two ROBs: the one on the southern side will connect traffic between SV Road and Western Express Highway and on the northern side it will connect SV Road (Ram Mandir Road) to Nirlon on east side adjoining WE Highway. The estimated cost of the ROBs will be Rs 38 crore and Rs 24 crore respectively.
Standing committee chairman Ravindra Waikar said both the projects will begin soon. “The construction will start in at few months. Both the ROBs are necessary to ease the traffic as well as improve pedestrian movement,” he said.
On the WR line till Borivali, there are four manned level crossings at Andheri, Jogeshwari, Oshiwara and Kandivli. Although after 14 long years, the ROB at Kandivli was reopened in November, the railway crossing gates have not been fully shut down. The construction of ROBs at Jogeshwari will help in closure of crossing gates at Oshiwara and Jogeshwari, leaving only the one at Andheri crossing operational.
