Traffic out of gear in Mumbra bypass
Inconveniences never seem to stop for the commuters due to the Mumbra Bypass which started the repair work is done by ‘The Public Works Department (PWD)’ with the orders of Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC)a week ago. The bypass is supposed to be a major route for heavy vehicles going towards JNPT, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Nashik and Bhiwandi. Heavy vehicles are often diverted towards Shahapur, Bhiwandi and in the interior parts of Thane and Navi Mumbai. The diversion is not only blocking the roads during the morning peak hours but even in the afternoon. Many take the internal routes to reach to the toll nakato avoid the traffic congestion on the Eastern Express Highway and Ghodbunder Road but the heavy vehicles caused and faced huge trouble here too. The Mumbra-bypass was built seven years ago to restrict the heavy vehicles entering inside Mumbra town but within couple of days from the road developed potholes and cracks. The repair is the measure for the same.
