It was only 10 days back when environment minister Aaditya Thackeray inaugurated the newest flyover in the city. This is the R M Bhattad flyover in Mumbai’s Borivali West. Since the inauguration, the flyover has been open for all. As people started driving here, the condition started worsening. It has been some days and the tar used to construct the flyover is already crumbling.

Mumbaikars Are Reacting To This Situation On Social Media
Mumbaikars are complaining and showing anger about the infrastructure on social media. They are complaining about how the pieces of rocks and gravel are falling off the road. Some are asking for penalising the responsible people behind this project, while some are tweeting about how they think this bridge is an unnecessary establishment in Borivali. People are really furious as to how things escalated so bad so quickly.
Meanwhile, the chief engineer commented on this too. According to the chief engineer, the layers and gravel falling off are antiskid layers. It will take almost a week for these issues to get fixed. All these will get immersed in the flyover roads and will fix the issues themselves.
