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???
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.
Mumbai’s East–West road link realised after 2 decades with SCLR extension
instead of trying to cover the world with leather, one should wear leather shoes
I don't think I've heard that phrase before but I like it
So instead of building more roads, we should use tires made of road?
Vehicles bringing their own road ... their own track ... tracked vehicles if you will, why did nobody think of that!
Same! It's a fun idiom.
Just one more lane, bro, this one will fix the system for good, 100% guarantee, trust me bro, I'm ~~a lobbyist~~ a human.
Just one more ~~lane~~ layer bro, trust me bro.
4 is the charm
Cool bridge tho
First class with sunlight, shadow and black water below for the proletariat
All these liberals keep telling us that one more lane won’t work, so we stopped doing that. We just built more roads.
Just one more entire extra highway bro, i promise this'll solve the problem
Key is to get cars off the road. That’s all it takes. Give people a cheaper more convenient safer option than a car, then people will use it. Not rocket science.

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!
Just make them wider
No, more layers are the answer!
As a minimum two tunnels and three above ground levels more.
