The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is set to kick start construction of flyover extension at Jogeshwari east on Western Express Highway (WEH) by end of June 2018.

The pillar for the work will be erected in June 2018 which will make way for letting the work of Metro 6 corridor connecting Lokhandwala-Jogeshwari-Vikhroli- Kanjurmarg.

The extended flyover will be at least 4.5 km long. The Metro 6 corridor will run parallel to the existing flyover and the new flyover is set to pass from above the metro line.

The flyover will run from Samartha Nagar in Lokhandwala to Mahakali Caves in Andheri East with the Metro 6 corridor running above it.

The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) will provide their share of funds to MMRDA for the project work as they will commence the construction work.

Once the work on pillars is complete, the work on construction of underground pedestrian subways will commence.
