Pending for nearly two years and three months, the work to rebuild B G Kher Road in Malabar Hill is expected to be expedited, and the BMC officials are confident of getting it ready by December. The civic body is also planning to concretise the road, instead of using asphalt. The BMC is awaiting a test result, which will determine whether the slope is suitable for cement concrete (CC), considering there was a landslide in the area in 2020.
Civic officials told mid-day that the work is in full swing and efforts are on to move the deadline closer. Although the work of laying water pipelines has been delayed, “most of the work under the road line is complete. We will start the primary work of construction of the road. We have set a deadline for us, which is the mid of December,” said a senior official from the Roads department of the BMC.
