Virar, May 8: The much-anticipated Naringi Flyover, a project stuck in development for years, was officially opened to the public on Friday. The inauguration was performed by Palghar District Guardian
Minister Ganesh Naik, marking a significant milestone for the city's infrastructure.
Flyover expected to ease traffic congestion
The opening of this flyover is expected to provide much-needed relief to commuters, effectively ending the chronic traffic congestion between Virar East and West.
As Vasai-Virar undergoes rapid urbanisation, existing transport infrastructure has struggled to keep pace. Recognising this, the Public Works Department (PWD) initiated the construction of the Naringi Flyover at Railway Crossing No. 41 approximately six to seven years ago.
Project faced years of delay
While technical hurdles caused significant delays, the project has finally overcome all obstacles to become operational.
The ceremony saw a gathering of several high-ranking officials and dignitaries, including Ajiv Patil (Mayor), Dr Hemant Savara (MP), Rajan Naik (MLA), Sneha Dubey-Pandit, Rajendra Gavit, Dr Indurani Jakhar (District Collector), and Prithviraj B.P. (Municipal Commissioner).
Ganesh Naik addresses citizens’ concerns
Speaking at the event, Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik acknowledged the residents' struggles.
"It is a fact that technical issues delayed this project, causing distress to citizens at the Naringi crossing. However, the bridge is now open, providing major relief. Moving forward, we will work collectively for the city's development and accelerate other proposed projects," Naik stated.
