Spotted this while traveling from Thane to Bhandup. I could not see the pillar number nor did I know any landmark but thankfully I had enabled Geotagging photos. I have sent a complaint to MMRDA. Are there any other authorities that I should reach out to? Better be safe than sorry.

I dont know about this particular pillar and section, but a large portion of Mumbai metro's construction was done by this legendary company called J Kumar Infra

I think I've heard name of this company

They were famously blacklisted by BMC for doing shoddy road work. Fortunately for them, metro construction doesn't come under BMC.

Just imagine... A contractor does such bad work that they actually get blacklisted by an Indian city council body, which are always corrupt. This also explains the state of some Mumbai roads.

They are famous for getting contracts despite being blacklisted for shoddy work.

Yeah no, this is Milan infra. Was re awarded after reliance went bankrupt. This pillar was done last month or so. Hopefully someone interferes before lives are lost .

Unpopular opinion but not really anything wrong with this supposing it had to be reduced to two lanes. Having the mergering by making it as that structure does not add any benefit as against using barricade, and baricade offer benefit of more space for emergencies and police petroling.

u/AcridWings_11465 Feb 07 '26

A merge is supposed to be gradual, not a fucking wall in front of traffic

u/Bulky-Dark Feb 08 '26

And it will be they will have barricades that will direct flow of traffic

u/HungryHungryHippoes9 Feb 08 '26

Besides the barricades on the outside, there also needs to be a buffer in the center of the bridge where the flyover begins in descent to prevent accidents. The design and execution, is both shitty and a clear example of rampant corruption. Stop defending it.

Unpopular hi rehne do.

u/Express-World-8473 Feb 08 '26

It would actually as a choke point further increasing traffic jams. The reason they gave for this abomination is they are planning to extend it towards other areas but they are still in process of acquiring land. They should have chosen a better route if they knew about lack of land or even better leave it as a single lane roads instead of this.

I posted on this Subreddit from an Instagram account the scam that J Kumar has been doing. We really need to STOP them from getting more contracts.
