View-cutters installed

The overbridge was inaugurated by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on May 25.

Police soon wrote to MMRDA saying a part of the overbridge has become a tourist spot as it offers a clear view of the airport and thus poses a security threat. MMRDA started installing view-cutters last week.

MMRDA’s chief engineer Sharad Sabnis said the work will be completed in the next 15 days and is likely to cost about

Rs 15 lakh.

“The view-cutters will block the view completely. It will also prevent congestion on the bridge since people will no longer stop,” said Sabnis.

MMRDA had also installed view-cutters on the recently-commissioned Eastern Freeway,which oversees a number of oil installations.

An official from the CM’s office revealed that such caution was not exercised while building the Milan road overbridge.

The project itself had faced a delay of many years and had missed its deadline over five times.
