BMC Floats Rs 1.29 Billion Tenders For Highway Microsurfacing

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has floated two separate tenders for microsurfacing works on the Western Express Highway and Eastern Express Highway, with the total project cost estimated at around Rs 1.29 billion.

Of the total outlay, about Rs 0.69 billion has been earmarked for resurfacing a 7.5 km stretch of the 25.33 km Western Express Highway between Oberoi Mall Junction in Goregaon and Magathane in Borivali. A further Rs 0.60 billion has been allocated for microsurfacing a 7.9 km section of the 23.5 km Eastern Express Highway from Kamraj Nagar in Ghatkopar to Amar Mahal in Chembur. Both corridors are key north–south arterial routes connecting Mumbai’s western and eastern suburbs.

The WEH and EEH were earlier maintained by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority and were taken over by the BMC in 2023. Civic officials said resurfacing the entire length of the highways at one time would be expensive and would severely disrupt traffic, as these are among the city’s busiest roads. Instead, the corporation plans to undertake microsurfacing in selected stretches every year to maintain smooth road conditions while minimising inconvenience to commuters.
