Speaking to the media during the visit, MP Suresh Mhatre said the Bhiwandi-Wada Road had remained in a severely damaged condition for several years and had become a major accident-prone stretch due to potholes and poor infrastructure. He stated that from the beginning of his tenure, he had consistently pursued the issue and was determined to see the project completed during his term in office.

The MP further revealed that the contractor had initially cited a lack of funds as the primary reason for the slow pace of work. Following this, Mhatre said he held several meetings at the government level and facilitated the release of ₹138 crore for the project to accelerate construction activities.

“After the funds were sanctioned, the work has gained momentum and is currently progressing on a war footing. The concreting work is being carried out properly, and it is a matter of relief that at least one lane of the road will become operational before the monsoon,” he said.

Several senior PWD officials, engineers, and local citizens were present during the inspection tour. Residents expressed hope that the long-pending project would finally bring relief to thousands of daily commuters who regularly travel on the busy Bhiwandi-Wada corridor.
