In the wake of a mid-day report drawing attention to unfinished cement concrete (CC) roadwork that was supposed to be completed by May 31, and the date to complete pouring of cement for concreting was May 20; the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has completed the work on the road in Andheri that was specifically mentioned in the story. However, at other locations visited by mid-day, the work seemed far from complete.
On May 24, this newspaper pointed out how recent heavy rains and a weather alert from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had left Mumbaikars anxious about the state of city roads. Several on-the-ground visits brought to light incomplete work in several areas.

On Monday, mid-day revisited SVP Nagar in Andheri West, where the CC work had earlier remained incomplete on a stretch of Mahadeshwar Lane. During our visit, we found that the CC work had been completed on both sides of the road.

Local resident Ratnakar Sawant said, “It’s good to see that the roadwork was completed after mid-day’s report. We hope pending work at other locations is also finished in time so that people don’t suffer during the peak monsoon season.”

The roadwork here has been nearly completed. Locals can now travel freely. Earlier concerns from hotel employees about guest complaints have subsided, with no new issues reported. There has also been no waterlogging reported. “We’re finally able to walk and move without dust,” a hotel employee told this reporter.

Work at following places still remains incomplete
Matoshree Ramabai Marg, Malad West
Work here began in mid-April. While one side of the road is complete and cement pouring has begun on the other, a portion still lies dug up. The BMC barricade mentions May 31, 2025, as the deadline. Post-rain update (Monday): Work remained stalled. No activity took place over the weekend due to the labourers’ holiday, followed by Monday’s heavy rains. Although walkability is severely affected, there were no flood-like situations reported.

Work began here around the end of February. This is the only crossroad in the area where cement pouring hasn’t even started. Other roads nearby are either fully completed or at least concreted. The deadline is also May 31. Post-rain update (Monday): Cement pouring hasn’t begun. While workers earlier said work would begin Tuesday-Wednesday, they now claim the rain may delay things further. The road closure continues to inconvenience residents indefinitely.

Road No 5 in TPS Colony remains in poor condition. Although asphalt has been laid instead of concrete, gaps and potholes are already visible, and construction debris lines the sides. Residents fear that due to rushed work, the road may cause more problems than before.

Bandra, St John Baptist Road

The authorities had filled the gap between Chapel Road and St John Baptist Road with mud and debris. “Now, because of the rain, it has sunk and become steep, making commuting difficult,” said Floyd Gracias, a resident of St John Baptist Road. In addition to the poor road condition, the silt removed from the stormwater drains has been left out in the open. “With all the debris left on the roads, it’s inevitable that it will flow back into the drains with the rain,” Gracias added. Having notified the authorities, locals are now waiting for the work be completed.
