BMC tells contractors to work three shifts, get more workers for GMLR flyover

Mumbai: The BMC on Thursday directed its officials to ensure the completion of the Dindoshi-Goregaon-Dadasaheb Phalke Film City flyover, which is a part of the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road, swiftly. Contractors were asked to operate in three shifts with additional manpower to ensure the flyover opens for traffic as soon as possible.
During an inspection of the first phase of the project on March 6, officials reviewed the ongoing construction of the six-lane, 1,265-metre-long flyover. The GMLR, spanning 12.2 km, is a critical infrastructure project aimed at improving connectivity between Mumbai's eastern and western suburbs.
A key component is the construction of twin underground tunnels from Dadasaheb Phalke Film City to Khindipada in Mulund. Each tunnel will be 4.7 km long and will run beneath Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
The tunnel boring machine (TBM) is expected to arrive in August, and Film City management was requested to allocate land for TBM equipment. Local municipal officials were instructed to follow up on land availability. An alternative road is also being developed within Film City for improved site access.
