Those who drive on the road towards Lucky Junction in Bandra West are in for a surprise, as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has dealt with the deadly metal cover, but only halfway! As several complaints were made over the smoothness of the surface that caused vehicles to skid, which mid-day had also pointed out, the H West has now welded thin metal strips horizontally across the metal cover to provide some traction.

However, this will mostly help only those who drive straight down from SV Road. Taking care of the smooth surface is only half the issue resolved. The civic body still has to come up with a solution for the pothole underneath the metal cover, which gets exposed with vehicular movement, and the raised surface of the cover, which is almost 3-4 inches above the road surface.
