After a series of reports by mid-day on how motorists were forced to pay toll to use the pothole-ridden road in Aarey Milk Colony, there is now good news — come Tuesday, not only will toll no longer be collected there, but the road will soon be repaired by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) which will take charge from Monday midnight.

The Aarey Colony link road, connecting the western express highway on the Goregaon end to Powai and Marol, was the only road in city limits where toll was collected from motorists. Currently, R5 is charged from two-wheeler riders, Rs 7 from autorickshaw passengers and Rs 15 from those using light utility vehicles.
