Mumbai: To speed up the work on Milan Subway road over bridge in Santacruz, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority has decided to resettle 325 project affected persons (PAPs) in Vile Parle. The persons will be shifted to plot no. 398 in Vile Parle, provided by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
MMRDA has started the preliminary work on the construction of the building to house PAPs, officials said. In the meantime, BMC has given an NOC to construct transit quarters for accommodating PAP’s temporarily on plot no 1825 in Vile Parle.
“The work on transit quarters has already begun and they will be ready soon. Work on the connectivity of Milan ROB to the Western Express Highway service road is expected to begin once the PAPs are rehabilitated,” said Ashwini Bhide, Joint Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA.
The project was delayed after the PAPs demanded to be rehabilitated in the same locality. The 700-metre flyover that was slated to be completed by May-end will now be completed by August.
The bridge has 2 carriageways and each carriageway has 2 lanes connecting SV Road and Western Express Highway service road.
