Again, see how easily all this is possible. We do have abundant space available for the ascending ramp right at the Centre of Mumbai i.e. at Dadar, in front of the Pramod Mahajan Garden. Since this ramp up will have to ascend up to the 3rd level of the Connector, it has to start the ascent from afar and luckily there is a huge tract of empty land there from where the bridge can lift off. In fact, despite the lift-off, there will still be a lot of space left empty before the lift-off that can come in handy for the MSRTC to move the Mumbai-Pune Bust Stop of the Shivneris here, instead of where it is in the east right now. That way, the Pune bound traffic will be able to get out of the city rather quickly. And, in lieu of that, the present day MSRTC Mumbai-Pune hub can be transformed to become a Mumbai-Nashik hub. This will give a huge fillip to the Nashik city bound traffic/ business. The Nashik corridor, in comparison to the Pune one, has been a much neglected corridor.

Also, as can be seen from the picture above, another proposed newer exit as shown in Red will come in handy for those getting into the city from the Connector. As shown in the picture, we take a ramp down from the Connector i.e. from its topmost level and build another bridge therefrom parallel to the existing Elphinstone Flyover, and land it down on the Senapati Bapat Marg, right next to the One World Center, right next to the BMC Pay & Park facility, just after the Holy Cross Church and School, at the Balkrishna Gawde Chowk, such that folks can get off the Connector, into the Central Mumbai region, instead of forcibly having to go all the way up to the Worli Seaface. Now, I know that the church-school combination together can be a bit of a hindrance for the landing of this ramp down because the church’s main gate may come in front of the ramp down. However, this problem can easily be resolved by moving the church’s main gate earlier i.e. right after the exit gate of the BMC Pay & Park. What a boon both these bridges connecting themselves to the Connector can prove to be! What a blessing!

Well, it should've already been in place by now. We are already too late. The Paral region both on the West as well as on the East is already congested with numerous towers. All these towers' inhabitants are car owners and quite a lot of them traverse perpendicularly across what with the Paral CBD being situated at Paral West. And right now, they already experience a lot of congestion at the Bhoiwada Naka or the Sant Rohidas Chowk etc going to and fro. The peak hour traffic is impossible to manage. The cops manning these roads have a horrid time and the public traversing these regions is already irritated due to the delays and the bumper-to-bumper traffic. CAPACITY ADDITION IS THE NEED OF THE HOUR and the existing design of the Connector is woefully short on that count. Not so with the GMP-P.

The proposed closure of the Prabhadevi Bridge is hanging over our heads and we have very little time to delay the construction, unless of course, the High Court takes a serious cognizance of the matter and immediately orders the cancellation of the destructive demolition of the Prabhadevi Bridge.
