The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has floated a tender worth nearly ₹46.05 crore for major repairs and noise barriers on the Jogeshwari road overbridge and the MTNL flyover in Goregaon.
- The work goes beyond resurfacing and includes structural repairs such as polymer treatment, anti-corrosive painting, epoxy grouting, bearing replacement and expansion-joint repairs on the two bridges.
- Noise barriers are being installed because both bridges carry heavy traffic through densely populated residential and commercial parts of the western suburbs, though the tender does not specify their height, material or design.
- The repairs will be carried out alongside running traffic, so contractors must manage diversions, barricading and safety in consultation with traffic authorities, and can work nights, weekends and holidays to maintain continuity.
- The project matters because it addresses the structural health of two heavily used suburban bridges while aiming to reduce noise for residents living along these corridors.
What to watch next
- Details on the height, material and design of the proposed noise barriers, which the tender leaves unspecified.
- Bidders' response to the tender and the earnest money deposit requirement of ₹46.05 lakh.
