The civic body is all set to apply new architectural technology to provide pothole-free roads while widening the highly congested Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road. The Highly Modified Asphalt — also known as HIMA — will be used to construct the JVLR's widened portion. Currently, the road is blocked with traffic during peak hours owing to one lane on each side being barricaded for the Metro VI work. The BMC has now come up with a plan to merge the service roads on either side into the main carriageway to widen it and enable smoother traffic movement.

The project worth R92 crore has been approved by BMC authorities and a contract has already been awarded with work expected to start soon after monsoon. Further, to complete this task, a Storm Water Drains network, which is obstructing the way, will have to be shifted from the main road to the sides. The four-km road will see a complete rehaul as another new technology—micro-Surfacing—will then be used for the entire cement concrete-laden road of JVLR, the arterial road that connects the eastern suburbs to the western suburbs.
