BMC Floats Rs 129 Crore Tenders for Express Highway Resurfacing
The BMC in Mumbai has announced two big projects to improve the city's roads.
First, they are spending Rs 129 crore to fix parts of the Western and Eastern Express Highways using a special technique called micro-surfacing.
This will make the roads smoother and last longer.
The work will cover about 15.4 km of roads and is expected to take a year to finish.
Second, they are building a new 1.33 km flyover with special loops to connect Nahur and Airoli, costing Rs 1,293 crore.
This flyover will help reduce traffic congestion and provide smooth, signal-free travel in four directions.
The BMC says these projects will make driving in Mumbai much better.
BMC floated tenders worth Rs 129 crore for micro-surfacing 15.4 km of Western and Eastern Express Highways.
Micro-surfacing involves applying a polymer-modified asphalt emulsion to extend the road's life and improve surface conditions.
The project aims to cover 7.9 km on the Eastern Express Highway and 7.5 km on the Western Express Highway.
The BMC plans to complete the resurfacing work within a year, focusing on cost-effective and traffic-friendly repairs.
Additionally, the BMC is constructing a 1.33 km flyover with cloverleaf loops to connect Nahur and Airoli, costing Rs 1,293 crore.
