Under the ongoing initiative to make Mumbai's roads pothole-free, the concrete resurfacing work has been completed on 1,385 roads across the city within the scheduled timeframe, stated the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The concrete curing process, which is a part of the monsoon preparedness planning, will be completed by June 2. Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar has directed the departments concerned to remove all the road barricades by June 5 to resume smooth vehicular movement across the city.

Bangar conducted an inspection of the ongoing works in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai on Wednesday night. He reviewed the work at Sant Kakkaya Marg in Chembur, Saki Vihar Road, Sicova Industrial Road in Ghatkopar (West), Subhash Nagar Road in Bhandup (West), Surya Nagar Road in Vikhroli (West), Marathon Galaxy Road and Baba Padmasingh Road No 5 in Mulund (West).

Under the cement concretising road project, the BMC said it has completed pavement quality concrete (PQC) works. The work on 30 roads have been partially completed using mastic asphalt. Most roads have been completed end-to-end, while others have been finished junction-to-junction, the civic body informed, adding that the remaining work will be taken up after the monsoon.
