The work of concreting roads under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Corporation under the Mumbai Pothole-Free Mumbai project is progressing at a rapid pace. Concrete roads are providing speed and ease of transportation and are saving valuable time and fuel to the citizens significantly. 77% of the work scheduled under concreting phase 1 has been completed, while 52% of the work has been completed under phase 2, and overall 63% of the work has been successfully completed. Complex planning should be done in terms of roads during the upcoming concreting works. Mumbai Municipal Corporation Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani has given clear instructions that the road started and the excavated road should be completed within the stipulated time. Gagrani has also given instructions that the public representatives should also be informed and given detailed information while concreting work is being done. An ambitious cement concreting project is being implemented to improve the quality of Mumbai’s infrastructure. Concreting work is underway in the city and its suburbs under Phase 1 and Phase 2. Municipal Commissioner Mabhushna Gagrani reviewed the works. He gave these instructions at the time. Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijeet Bangar, Deputy Commissioner (Infrastructure) Mr. Girish Nikam, Chief Engineer (Roads) Mr. Mantaya Swamy and other concerned engineers were present. Municipal Commissioner Gagrani said that the road concreting project will make road travel safer, easier and faster. The incidents of potholes due to rain on concrete roads are minimal, resulting in significant savings in maintenance and upkeep costs. The implementation of the road concreting project has become a historic milestone in modernizing Mumbai’s transport system. Under Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Municipal Corporation’s flagship road cement concreting project, a total of 430.69 km of concreting has been completed as on February 10, 2026. While 77% of the target set under Phase 1 has been achieved, 52% of the target set under Phase 2 has been achieved. That is, the percentage of work completed under Phase 1 and Phase 2 is 63. The implementation is going on in such a way that the citizens face minimum inconvenience due to detailed planning in terms of road during the concreting work. However, to achieve this, it is very important that the road, the excavated road, is completed within the stipulated time. In this session, the work of newly started roads should be completed within the stipulated time. Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar said that due to the population density and dense urban infrastructure in Mumbai, this project, which is being implemented on such a large scale, is very challenging. However, the concreting programme is being implemented in a planned manner and effectively. It has been made mandatory for engineers to be present at the work site during the execution of concrete roads. Special attention should be paid to the quality of work while starting the work, quality work does not only mean that the road surface is good, but also that all the components (aggregates) and their related humidity, temperature, etc. should be strictly followed at every level from its base level. There should be great emphasis on getting the work done in this way.

The assistant engineers replied that due to the guidance given by the experts of the Indian Institute of Technology, the concreting work is becoming more standard. There is a period of 75 days before the end of the current session. If these 75 days are carefully planned, a crucial stage of the concreting project can be reached before the monsoon.
