Three high risk traffic junctions (black spots) on the Western Express Highway are undergoing significant improvements to enhance road safety. A week-long design trial was conducted earlier this month to identify optimal solutions. The initiative is a collaboration between the traffic control branch, the BMC and the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety, aiming to reduce accidents and fatalities at these critical intersections.
The critical intersections being revamped are the Western Express Highway (WEH)-Goregaon Mulund Link Road (Oberoi Mall Junction), WEH-Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road (HBT Trauma Care Centre Junction), and WEH-NS Phadke Marg (Bisleri Junction).
These black spots were identified among the top 20 dangerous intersections between 2019 and 2021. The upgrades are expected to significantly improve road safety and reduce accidents in these areas.
