The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will spend over Rs 31 crore on resurfacing bad patches on the 3.5-km-long Pedder Road and on around 2.5 km of roads near the airport connecting the highways in Santacruz. While the BMC has taken over resurfacing work of 200 km roads after the high court case on bad condition of roads during the monsoon, due to the scheduled arrival of the G20 delegation to the city, these patches will be taken up for resurfacing on priority now.

Roads from the international airport to Colaba were inspected by BMC officials recently. “Most of the routes are on the Western Express Highway, Bandra-Worli Sea Link and through major cement concrete roads. These roads are already in good shape and there is no need to patch them up. There are only two parts, one from the airport to the WEH, and the other on Pedder Road where resurfacing is needed. So that work has been taken up,” said a BMC official.
