The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) on Tuesday clarified concerns over the design of a flyover under construction in Mira Road, stating that the transition from four lanes to two lanes is a planned feature and not a structural or design flaw.

In an official statement, the MMRDA said the flyover has been designed keeping in mind existing road-width constraints and long-term network planning. The authority refuted claims that the structure “suddenly narrows,” explaining that the present configuration reflects phased connectivity planned for the Mira–Bhayander region.
