It's the end of the road for the BMC. To absolutely no one’s surprise, the civic body has missed its self-declared deadline of May 31 to make our roads monsoon-ready. After months of putting up with traffic snarls because of the work, and with roads currently still dug-up across several parts of the city, Mumbaikars must now buckle up for an even rougher commute this rainy season. 

The civic body had issued an ultimatum to contractors to complete the road concretisation works by the end of May, or face steep fines or even termination of contract. 

While work has been completed in some stretches, too many areas remain riddled with trenches. Sunday mid-day conducted its own test drive, sending out our photographers to various locations in Mumbai hours before the midnight deadline. Here’s our report card.
