Around 200 metres of Mahim's Kapad Bazar Post Office Road are still under curing, and another 100-metre patch is pending concrete laying. Residents say work has been delayed since the beginning and are uncertain whether it will be finished by the May-end deadline

Work began in October 2024 on Bandra West's St Roques Road, but progress has stalled due to blocked sewers and water line leaks. As per last week’s civic data, BMC has completed 111.25 km of the targeted 130.15 km of concreting work. Another 51 km is expected to be brought to a “safe” stage by May 31
