Gokhale Bridge-Barfiwala flyover finally connected

Gokhale Bridge-Barfiwala flyover finally connected

The misalignment between Mumbai’s Barfiwala flyover and the new Gokhale bridge has been corrected. A few months ago - this bridge was a matter of embarrassment to the authorities and disappointment to the commuters. On February 26th, when the new Gokhale bridge was partially reopened to the public, it was a matter of joy to the Andheri residents. Until it was found out that there was a huge gap between the CD Barfiwala flyover and the new Gokhale bridge. The flyover and the Gokhale bridge did not align. This blunder was a big nemesis for people travelling from Juhu. They were forced to navigate through the SV road which is a hotspot of traffic jams. Today, the CD Barfiwala flyover connecting the new Gokhale bridge is officially reopening for the public to use after the realignment of the Gokhale Bridge-Barfiwala flyover and here is why it matters a lot to the Mumbaikars.
