BMC plans to repair pothole-ridden service roads next to proposed road over bridge linking Jogeshwari (W) to JVLR before monsoon
MOTORISTS and pedestrians on SV Road can breathe a little easier as the BMC plans to repair the service roads next to the proposed road over bridge (ROB) connecting the busy thoroughfare to the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road.
A pothole similar to this will be repaired before the monsoon on SV Road, Jogeshwari
The decision was taken after Jogeshwari (W) Corporator Raju Pednekar invited BMC Standing Committee Chairperson Rahul Shewale to the area to appraise him about the problems that the residents were facing because of the potholed-riddled roads.
"I had received many complaints from the people using the road and, hence, I decided to raise the issue with the chairperson. I appraised him about the problems motorists are facing now and the ones they will face once the ROB is complete," said Pednekar.
The ROB will end at Captain Samant Marg, close to the 24 Karat theatre in Jogeshwari (W), which is in a pitiable state.

"The roads have so many potholes and are in such a bad state that it is difficult to even walk there, let alone drive. We had requested the corporator to repair the roads while constructing the road over bridge itself," said Aroshna Karedia, a resident of the area.
Confirming that the roads would be repaired before the monsoon, Shewale said, "The corporation will repair the service roads before the monsoon sets in and then carry out work on the ROB.
Project details
The BMC has set aside Rs 50 crore for the 2-km ROB connecting JVLR with SV
Road. In May 2010, the BMC had demolished 24 shanties, 57 commercial structures, 32 residential structures and eight cattle sheds to facilitate the bridge's construction. It is expected to be completed next year.
