The flyover has distinct floors for metro and road travel.

It aims to save commuters 8-10 minutes of travel time.

It has signage and lighting that comply with MoRTH rules.

One of the major obstacles to the construction was moving the Dahanu-Versova double-circuit power line.

It was moved 3 kilometres and lifted to 75 meters, making it Maharashtra's second-highest power channel.

By combining road and metro into a single structure, the flyover has allowed for more effective land use.
