I got curious and looked around for more info, thinking that usually it takes at least a few months for traffic patterns to settle in like this. Nope. This overpass opened yesterday.

But wait, there are even more familiar issues! Housing? Yep, lots of people were displaced. Which was also ignored during planning, so the project landed late (22 years in the making) and way over budget.

Furthermore, it's not like the civil planning experts in Mumbai didn't know any better.

Transport expert Ashok Datar voiced skepticism about long-term benefits. “There is a saying that instead of trying to cover the world with leather, one should wear leather shoes. SCLR’s extension is an attempt to cover the world in leather. All that is being done is that a congestion point is being pushed further ahead of the road. How many extensions will you do while ignoring easier and cheaper solutions like having dedicated bus corridors on Mumbai’s roads? That is a far cheaper option than building such roads,” Datar said.

Just one more lane, bro, this one will fix the system for good, 100% guarantee, trust me bro, I'm a lobbyist a human.

Cool bridge tho

obviously they should add a 4th layer, duh

and when that gets traffic jammed too, add a 5th! easy

what, public transit? uh, sweaty, do you not know how expensive and loud and ugly it would be???

If you just squeeze it in there! I think I see a spot in the park that can be bulldozed and paved into a new express lane! Progress yay!

All these liberals keep telling us that one more lane won’t work, so we stopped doing that. We just built more roads.

Just make them wider

They should have build a parking Garage. That would bei so much easier for standing cars in multiple layers

Pretyy sure Chicago beat them to it

Meanwhile...

I see two layers

Neat architecture. Would look better with a train on it.
