In Mumbai, heavy water-logging at the Milan subway will no longer cause an inconvenience to motorists this monsoon, thanks to the Milan rail over bridge (RoB), which is set to open this month. According to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the 700-metre RoB is finally ready for traffic will be ready for traffic by the end of this month.
Sharad Sabnis, chief engineer of MMRDA, said, construction of the RoB is complete and final touches are being given. It will be ready for traffic by the end of this month.
Every monsoon, motorists find it very difficult to commute through the Milan subway as even slightly heavy rainfall leads to water logging. Now motorists can save up to 20 minutes using the RoB while commuting between SV Road and the Western Express Highway (WEH).
But commuters from the WEH will have to take roundabout routes to reach SV Road (see graphic).
