One lane of Eastern Express Highway to be concretised for a smooth ride

MUMBAI: The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has decided to carry out concretization of one lane on the Eastern Express Highway to resolve the issue of recurring potholes.

The MMRDA has been given the mandate to maintain both the Eastern Express Higway and the Western Express Highway since some stretches on the two arterial highways are witnessing Metro-related construction works.

Metropolitan commissioner S V R Srinivas said, “We will carry out concretization of one lane close to the median on Eastern Express Highway. Gradually, second lane will also be taken and the remainder lanes will not be touched as utilities are passing beneath the surface.”
