Mumbai News: Road Opposite Mantralaya Still Barricaded After Cave-In; Water Supply Restored

Office goers may face traffic jam on Monday morning as the strech of the Madam Cama road which caved-in after a sudden pipeline burst opposite Mantralaya in Friday, is still under restoration. Officials from BMC's Hydraulic Engineering department said that the water supply was fully restored on Sunday, however, the resurfacing of the concrete road is underway. The BMC expects to make the road motorable by Monday evening. As of Sunday night, the affected road strech remains barricaded.

It was on Friday late morning that a sudden burst in a 600 mm pipeline on Madam Cama Road disrupted water supply in parts of South Mumbai, including Colaba and Cuffe Parade. The burst also caused a 40 mete big road cavity, triggering a major traffic jam. "After fast paced work to repair to British era pipeline, the water supply to the affected areas was restored from Saturday itself. However, resurfacing of the concrete road is time consuming. We have to ensure the huge pipeline is repaired properly and the road resurfacing is also dried properly before opening up for traffic movement," an official said.
