Work along Sion - Panvel Highway forces authorities to divert traffic
Hindustan TimesOwing to confusion among commuters and traffic jams caused due to the ongoing work at Turbhe Trans-Thane Creek area and Uran Phata along Sion-Panvel Highway, the traffic police has issued a notification imposing diversion for roads. The Public Works Department has taken up road resurfacing work at Uran Phata flyover across the Sion-Panvel Highway. “Uran Phata flyover plays a major role in controlling the traffic on Sion-Panvel Highway as all the vehicles that do not have to enter the internal roads in Navi Mumbai use the flyovers to avoid the signals and traffic. Some of the vehicles try entering the MIDC service road at Uran Phata, causing huge traffic jams on the Mumbai lane and hence we decided to shut the road for the next two months,” Deputy Commissioner of Police, Purushottam Karad, said.
