As vehicles pass over the specially designed 500-metre stretch at a set speed, the road plays the tune of ‘Jai Ho’, the popular song from the film Slumdog Millionaire

Officials said that this is the first musical road not only in Mumbai but also in the entire country. The initiative is seen as another innovative addition to the city’s infrastructure

When vehicles travel over these grooves at a speed of around 70 to 80 km/h, the tune of ‘Jai Ho’ becomes audible inside the vehicle

The sound is produced by the friction between the tyres and the textured road surface

To alert approaching drivers, signboards have been placed inside the tunnel at intervals of 500 metres, 100 metres and 60 metres before the musical stretch
