Motorists travelling between Dahisar and Andheri via the New Link Road have been facing a nightmare, due to its condition. In just a few spells of rain, the road has gone from bad to worse. The surface has become uneven and there are many potholes on it. Besides this, they said the road is encroached upon in some places and even the Metro work has impacted it. 

Many motorists and commuters have also expressed their anger on social networking sites. “A ride from Dahisar to Andheri on the Link Road is enough to prove how BMC has completely abandoned this stretch. It causes difficulties for thousands of motorists every day. The biggest problem is the uneven road, especially on busy junctions where paver blocks have sunk, causing traffic to slow down resulting in snarls. The potholes and craters that have now cropped up post the rain have only added to the woes. Apart from this, the metro construction work has also impacted the road,” said Virat Singh, a Dahisar resident.
