Considering the harsh criticism of the state government over neglect of repairs of the potholed Mumbai-Nashik highway where traffic snarls had hit commuters including politicians, the minister concerned has promised the legislature of easing the situation in a week’s time.
Minister in-charge of MSRDC, Dada Bhuse told the Assembly on Tuesday that 100 wardens will be put in service to man traffic on the highway, the number of flying squads increased and potholes filled in eight days. Traffic jams occur on this road because of ongoing 8-lane expansion work on a 21-km stretch between Wadpe and Thane, he said, adding that the work will be completed by August 2024.
