A 40 mm-thick mastic asphalt wearing course has been laid on the bridge carriageway. BMC said the material typically appears rough and patchy immediately after application, particularly when laid in sections, but gradually becomes smoother and more uniform with regular vehicular movement

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Sunday claimed that the visible joints and patch-like appearance on portions of the newly constructed Mrinaltai Gore Extension Flyover are part of the technical road-laying process and do not indicate any compromise in the structure's safety, quality, or stability.
The claim comes after citizens, elected representatives, and other stakeholders raised concerns on social media regarding the apparent unevenness of the flyover's road surface.
