BMC Issues Rs 1.29bn Tenders For Expressway Repairs

17 Dec 2025 CW Team

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

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

The two highways were earlier maintained by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, with responsibility transferred to the BMC in 2023. Civic officials said resurfacing the entire expressways in one phase would be both expensive and highly disruptive, given the heavy traffic volumes on these roads.

Instead, the BMC plans to undertake annual microsurfacing of selected sections to maintain road quality while minimising traffic disruption. The phased approach is aimed at keeping the expressways smooth and serviceable without causing prolonged congestion on some of the city’s busiest corridors.
