The Vasai Creek bridge, which opened to traffic on March 27 after years of demands from commuters, has exposed the shoddy construction job, thanks to just four days of rain. The Rs 247-crore bridge, built by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), has developed potholes, endangering the lives of motorists and particularly two-wheeler riders.

This correspondent on Tuesday witnessed multiple potholes while travelling on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway’s arterial four-lane bridge. Commuters told mid-day that the brand new craters developed following the arrival of monsoon on Saturday.
