MMRDA Begins Phased Resurfacing on Atal Setu Under IIT Bombay Oversight

IIT Bombay will supervise materials, mix design and on-site checks, with the contractor funding the work under the project’s defect liability period.

Overview

  • The authority said the third and fourth lanes will be resurfaced first, followed by the remaining two, to limit disruption to traffic.
  • MMRDA cited localized pavement distress on the Navi Mumbai–bound carriageway around the 10.4 km mark, mainly on outer heavy-vehicle lanes.
  • Temporary mastic asphalt repairs were carried out during the monsoon to maintain safety and traffic flow before full restoration began.
  • Quality control covers material selection, mix design, and plant-level as well as on-site oversight led by IIT Bombay.
  • Congress leader Varsha Gaikwad criticized the need for repairs less than two years after the link opened in January 2024.
