Due to poor road conditions and ongoing road widening work, commuters and motorists travelling along the Mumbai-Nashik Highway between Vadpe and Thane are facing significant inconvenience. Crossing a one-kilometre stretch sometimes takes more than 30 minutes due to these issues.
Shirish Pawar, a recent traveller on the road, said, “The Vadpe-Thane stretch on the Mumbai-Nashik Highway is in really bad shape, all thanks to Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), which is carrying out the road widening work. The road near the Bhiwandi bypass is in a horrible state, with an uneven surface and potholes. This is the reason why motorists get stuck in traffic jams. The authorities claim they are temporarily repairing the road, but traffic jams still persist.”
