Work On 120 Ft Road Project In Kandivali To Begin Mid March

09 Mar 2026 CW Team

Authorities have outlined phased construction to limit disruption and will sequence works to maintain access for emergency services and local traffic. The programme will include road widening, resurfacing and the installation of improved drainage and pedestrian amenities, all designed to enhance safety and resilience during monsoon seasons. Utility agencies are coordinating relocations where required and traffic management plans will be implemented at key junctions to regulate flows and minimise delays for commuters.

Local residents and businesses can expect short term inconveniences as work progresses, with temporary lane closures, construction noise and occasional access restrictions at work sites. Municipal teams plan to publish schedules and diversion maps so that motorists and public transport operators can plan journeys and adjust timetables where necessary. Careful staging of works is intended to reduce peak hour impacts and priority will be given to maintaining bus routes and pedestrian crossings throughout the construction period.

Officials expect the scheme to strengthen local connectivity and support future urban growth by creating a more reliable route for commercial vehicles and residents alike. Progress updates will be provided through municipal communication channels and stakeholders have been encouraged to follow official advisories to avoid affected stretches during peak operations. The inauguration of on site activities in mid March will begin a phase of visible transformation along the corridor aimed at delivering long term transport benefits for Kandivali and surrounding neighbourhoods.
