Navi Mumbai bound lane of Mumbra bypass might soon be closed for traffic

Barely two weeks after restrictions on the Thane-bound lane of the Mumbra Bypass Road were lifted following repairs, potholes have now started appearing on the opposite lane of the busy road. The authorities are currently in discussion to impose similar restrictions on this lane shortly, officials said.

According to the Thane traffic police, the Public Works Department (PWD) had communicated to them earlier this month that repair work will need to be started as soon as possible on the Retibunder Bridge stretch of the road.

“The PWD has informed us that several potholes have formed on the Navi Mumbai bound lane of the bridge, and need to be repaired before they get any bigger.
