It's not just the Western Express highway that is riddled with potholes, the Aarey Milk Colony road, which is in possession of the BMC, and connects the WEH to Marol and Powai, has started developing potholes. Within two days of heavy rains, the situation of arterial roads in Mumbai has worsened due to potholes. Aarey Milk Colony road During mid-day's visit to the arterial Aarey Milk Colony road stretch that connects the WEH at Goregaon to Marol and Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road near Powai, we found many potholes on it.
More than 20,000 to 25,000 vehicles use the main road in Aarey to reach Powai from Goregaon, as motorists can avoid the traffic jam on the arterial Jogeshwari-Vikhroli link road. In few places the potholes are so big and deep that in case of waterlogging it becomes difficult for motorists or two-wheeler riders to spot them, which means some of them could even meet with accidents.
