THANE: The Kapurbawdi flyover from Ghodbunder Road to Nashik
highway has developed potholes within a week into its inauguration.
The Rs 197 crore worth project has left activists seething at this gross misuse of public money and inconvenience.
The Nashik arm of the flyover was thrown open to motorists after a low key inauguration last week by guardian minister Ganesh Naik. Several motorists who used the stretch immediately after the inauguration complained of uneven surface and felt that potholes may crop up in the coming days.
"I take the road daily for work and have observed potholes surfacing on the stretch. It is surprising how potholes can appear in such a small time even though most of the heavy vehicles are still not using it. I shudder to think what will happen when heavy vehicles headed towards Mumbai start using it," said activist Satyajit Shah.
A senior Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) official said, "The finishing work of the stretch was done in the monsoon and it was prone to develop potholes. We were well prepared to face this situation. We will take up the repair work of affected areas once the rains abate and will ensure no stretch remains unattended by the end of monsoon."
