Traffic in Mumbai has increased so rapidly that the entire city becomes gridlocked during rush hour. The proposed solution was to build a suspension bridge off the coast to provide relief from the crippling traffic jams. However, a lack of funding halted construction, so the municipal government’s alternative is to build split-level flyovers in 96 places around the city, in a bid to keep traffic flowing.
