Despite being fully completed, the flyover remains closed, causing growing frustration among residents struggling with daily traffic congestion.
A video of the agitation has gone viral on social media, showing MNS workers raising slogans against the delay while police intervened and detained several protesters. According to party representatives, the ruling authorities are allegedly delaying the opening to wait for an auspicious ‘muhurat’ instead of prioritizing public convenience.

Residents believe that the flyover, which connects the Vitthalwadi and Manikbaug areas, is critical to easing long-standing traffic snarls along Sinhagad Road. The MNS has urged the civic administration to open the bridge immediately to provide relief to thousands of daily commuters.
Local citizens have echoed MNS’s demand, emphasizing that infrastructure projects meant to improve traffic flow should not face unnecessary political delays.
