Mumbai-Bound Maharashtra Samruddhi Expressway Faces Three Daily Closures for Safety Work
From October 26 to November 6, Mumbai-bound motorists on the Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg will face three daily one-hour traffic closures between the Bharveer and Igatpuri interchanges. These closures, scheduled from 10-11 am, 1-2 pm, and 4-5 pm, are to allow the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation to install safety nets along vulnerable hill slopes to prevent falling rocks and landslides. Authorities advise drivers to plan their journeys accordingly and check traffic updates before travel.
