The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to use another technology for pre-monsoon road repair. This year, BMC will use mastic asphalt technology to repair bad patches.
Additional Municipal Commissioner Abhijeet Bangar said, “We have invited tenders for pre-monsoon road repair. We are using mastic asphalt for pre-monsoon road repairs. The work will start soon.” “We have invited a tender for zone level to appoint a contractor for pre-monsoon road repair,” added Bangar. BMC officially claims that in the last few years, mastic asphalt has been used for road repair and junction repair. The technology is useful and proves its strength, officials added. The pre-monsoon work is mainly used to reduce potholes during the monsoon. “We are going to spend more than R100 crore,” officials said.
