502 Structures To Be Razed Along S V Road In Andheri

17 Apr 2026 CW Team

The municipal corporation has identified 502 structures for demolition along S V Road in Andheri as part of a planned road-widening project. The decision follows detailed surveys and design work intended to expand carriageway capacity and improve vehicular flow on one of the city's major arterial roads. Officials have issued notices to affected property owners and initiated preliminary steps required for clearance. Technical teams have mapped utility shifts to minimise service disruption during the works.

The structures earmarked include residential and commercial units along the corridor and some informal encroachments that reduce the effective road width. The corporation has outlined a process for land acquisition and compensation consistent with statutory provisions, with claims and objections set to be addressed through designated municipal channels. Owners will be required to complete documentation before demolition schedules are confirmed and compensation disbursed.

Work sequencing is planned to limit traffic disruption and to protect utilities, with traffic management measures and diversions to be implemented where necessary. Engineering teams will relocate or protect water, sewer and power lines identified as falling within the widening corridor. The corporation anticipates coordinating with transport departments and local police to manage movement and maintain access for emergency services.

Authorities have provided timelines for statutory procedures and encouraged affected parties to use the established grievance redress mechanisms to resolve disputes. The road-widening project is presented as part of a broader effort to improve mobility and support urban development in the western suburb. Subsequent stages will involve detailed design finalisation and tendering for construction contracts before site clearance and physical works commence. Public notices and meetings will inform residents of timelines and procedures.
