BG Kher Marg, earlier known as Ridge Road, that had suffered extensive damage in a landslide at Malabar Hill last year still remains shut for traffic, with sources saying the work on it will start only after the monsoon next year. Officials from BMC’s Roads department said water pipelines are being laid underneath and rebuilding of the road will begin once this job is over.

The road connects the Malabar Hill area to the major junctions of Hughes Road, Napeansea Road and Peddar Road. It was hit by a landslip on August 5, 2020, leading to its closure. Sources said BMC officials wanted to wait till this year’s monsoon to check the effect of heavy rain before starting the work.
