BMC fills potholes on SNDT nullah bridge

A day after residents complained of potholes on the newly built SNDT nullah bridge on Juhu Tara Road, the BMC on Tuesday repaired the stretch.

The bridge was closed for traffic last year, as it was in a dilapidated condition, and was rebuilt by the BMC.

“The potholes were on a road that connects to the bridge. We filled all the potholes on Tuesday. Post monsoon, we will begin reconstruction work on the remaining portion of the bridge,” said an official from the bridges department. On August 1, the civic body had allowed traffic on the reconstructed portion, limiting the usage to only passenger vehicles. It had also put up a height barrier to prevent entry of heavy vehicles.
