Thane: The Thane Traffic Department has issued a new traffic advisory following the commencement of service road merging work by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) between Mullanbaug and Patlipada on the busy Thane–Ghodbunder Road. The work, which began this week, is expected to cause significant congestion during peak hours, prompting authorities to introduce diversions and temporary restrictions to improve traffic flow.
According to the official notice signed by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Pankaj Shirsat, the construction activity will require partial road closures in the stretch connecting Mullanbaug and Patlipada. All heavy vehicles, including trucks and goods carriers, will not be permitted to pass through the area during work hours. Instead, they will have to take designated alternate routes as advised by the police.
