The BMC has appointed Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) Mumbai to conduct an independent third-party quality audit of the second-level cable-stayed flyover being built on the Eastern Express Highway as part of the Goregaon Mulund Link Road (GMLR) Phase 4 project. The proposal, which will come up in the BMC standing committee next week, includes a service fee of Rs 6.09 crore, reports freepressjournal.in.
The flyover will be 1,330 metres long with a 180-metre span, five lanes each way, and a 40.6-metre width. Part B of Phase 4 includes elevated interchanges at Mulund and 3,600 metres of bypass roads. The 12.20-km GMLR project, divided into four phases and including twin tunnels under Sanjay Gandhi National Park, is targeted for completion by February 2029.

Freepressjournal.in includes more project detail, travel time reduction from 90 to 20 minutes and a 2029 deadline, while the Times of India focuses on the upcoming standing committee approval. The uniform neutral reporting suggests the appointment faces no visible opposition. The standing committee decision next week will confirm whether the audit proceeds as planned.
