The continuous road works across the city have left residents frustrated with never-ending traffic issues, road closures, diversions, and a lack of safe space to walk. While they welcome the fact that these are development works aimed at improving the life of city dwellers, the disturbingly slow speed of finishing them, and poor quality of work leading to repetition  of the roads being dug up, have mounted frustration among the residents.

Marol (Western Suburbs)

Residents of Marol have voiced frustration over the prolonged roadwork stretch between Marol Metro station and Bhawani Nagar, and Vijay Nagar, citing severe traffic congestion and a lack of visible progress. The construction, ongoing for over a month, came under scrutiny after locals observed that no labour activity has taken place in the past few days. With one side of the road dug up, the remaining narrow stretch has been converted into a two-way route, increasing the risk of accidents.
