The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has successfully completed the resurfacing of the Parel TT flyover within a week, primarily conducted at night to minimise disruption to the heavily trafficked bridge. This bridge has long awaited major repairs, and despite having received prior permission from traffic police, the repair work could only start after the opening of the Sewri Nhava Sheva bridge because the TT flyover had to be closed during repairs. The bridge serves as a major link in south Mumbai.

Although the BMC obtained permission from the traffic police as early as August, the work didn’t commence due to the continuous flow of traffic. During an inspection of the flyover, CM Eknath Shinde directed civic officials to prioritise the resurfacing work for commuter’s convenience. Consequently, the replacement of the asphalt layer on both sides of the bridge was undertaken last week, conducted between 9.30 pm to 7 am daily, and has now been completed.
