If all goes as planned, a new elevated road will connect Senapati Bapat Marg (Tulsi Pipe Road) in Mahim to the Western Express Highway. The G North ward of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to conduct a total station survey to identify structures and encroachments along the proposed alignment.

The BMC has invited tenders to appoint an agency for the survey. “This survey will identify the structures that will be affected by the project,” said an official. Once the survey is completed, the eligibility of these structures for compensation will be determined. As per policy, eligible shanties will receive alternative accommodation or monetary compensation, depending on their size, the official added.
