Changing City: JVPD flyover to shave 20 mins off commute, connect to Versova-Bandra Sea Link

Additionally, the project seeks to connect an arm to the upcoming Versova Bandra Sea Link offering direct connectivity to the coastal road.

While traversing the current route between Juhu and Versova takes a duration of upto 45 minutes during the peak travel hours, the upcoming JVPD flyover seeks to cut travel time down to 20 minutes by bypassing five junctions.

Administration speaks:

“Once completion, this flyover will be a game changer in the area as it will cater to five major junctions and reduce travel time by approximately 20 minutes. We have finalised new alignment and vetted it through IIT Bombay to develop a new arm which will connect to the Versova Bandra Sea Link and the Coastal road,” a senior BMC official told The Indian Express.
