Mumbai: BMC eyes city’s Western and Eastern Express Highways for maintenance
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) wants to take over the maintenance of the city’s Western and Eastern Express Highways (WEH and EEH) that are being maintained by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority.
In a recently held war-room meeting with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the BMC proposed that it take over these two highways for maintenance.
The BMC said several complaints were raised by residents about potholes on highways.
However, the MMRDA is not in favour of handing over the maintenance of these highways to BMC, a Mantralaya official said.
