THE BRIHANMUMBAI Municipal Corporation (BMC) is all set to take charge of 19 bridges and traffic underpasses from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) as all the necessary formalities required for the handing over of these structures are complete.
The proposal of handing over these roads and bridges was supported by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde after Municipal Commissioner and state-appointed administrator Iqbal Singh Chahal urged the Bombay High Court (HC) on September 30 to make BMC the sole authority responsible for the maintenance of roads and flyovers in Mumbai to bring an end to pothole-related problems.
MSRDC had handed over possession of the roads to BMC in October, however, the civic body didn’t give its nod to taking over the roads.
