Only two of the 21 flyovers and bridges earmarked by the municipal corporation as part of a Rs 41-crore mastic asphalt resurfacing plan will be repaired before the rains arrive. The other 19, which include some of the busiest flyovers in Mumbai, will remain potholed, thanks to BMC's delayed approval of the project and a technical hitch
Unless you drive a pickup truck, this is going to be a really bumpy monsoon on Mumbai’s roads. Forget tarmac-quality surfaces that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been promising for new roads, as many as 21 of the city’s mostused flyovers such as the Mahalaxmi bridge, the Priyadarshini bridge on Napean Sea Road, the Kemps Corner flyover and theCurrey Road flyover won’t even get their potholes filled properly before the rains.
