Traffic on the Mumbai-Nashik Highway near Bhiwandi experienced severe congestion on Saturday morning due to ongoing and incomplete flyover and bridge construction. The road narrows abruptly from five lanes to two between Rajnoli and Pimplas, creating a bottleneck worsened by a gradient that slows heavy vehicles. Trucks breaking down added to the delays, stranding thousands of commuters and affecting emergency services, including ambulances. Authorities acknowledge multiple infrastructure projects are underway, with residents noting frequent traffic snarls.
