Union Minister Nitin Gadkari advocated for the adoption of advanced construction technology to replace ageing flyovers after being delayed by an hour in Mumbai traffic on Saturday.

He proposed replacing conventional structures with multi-level flyover designs that incorporate metro corridors, citing technology acquired from Malaysia. Gadkari also stressed the need for stronger technology cooperation between India and the US to address the country's development challenges.
