The Lalbaug flyover, which starts from Parel and ends at Byculla Zoo, is set to undergo major repair work

It’s the city’s second largest flyover, but its shoddy construction has not allowed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to earn a good name for itself. Disapproving of the way in which the civic body plans to carry out resurfacing work on the 2.45 km-long Lalbaug flyover, a bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Anuja Prabhudesai of the Bombay High Court has stayed it till February 9. Even though BMC has already invited tenders for the Rs 13 crore work, the court asked it to wait till the structural audit report was ready. According to sources, the HC had already asked the state government and civic bodies to conduct structural audits of bridges and flyovers from time to time for safety of commuters.
