Mumbai's Mrinaltai Gore Flyover Surface Causes Skidding Concerns for Bikers
Mumbai's newly opened Rs 248-crore Mrinaltai Gore flyover, inaugurated on June 6, has raised safety concerns as two-wheelers reportedly skid on its unusually smooth surface, especially when wet. Motorists and citizens have reported loss of traction and falls, prompting calls for surface treatment. Experts explain that heavy traffic and weather can polish road aggregates, reducing grip. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has responded by addressing the issue to improve safety on the flyover.
