The BMC will now provide information about closure of roads due to various works on Google, after which it will be updated on Google maps. The experiment has been implemented in some cities in India and now the service will soon be available for Mumbai.

Several infrastructure development projects are being carried out across Mumbai, and though many people use Google maps to travel in the city, information about closed roads is not on it. “Keeping this in mind and to avoid inconvenience to the citizens, this innovative initiative has been undertaken by the Information Technology Department of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The BMC will send official information of closure of roads and this will make it easier for citizens while searching on Google maps. The alternative route to the closed road will also be shown through Google maps," said Sharad Ughade, director and assistant commissioner, Department of Information Technology, the BMC.
