Ghodbunder Road in Thane will be closed to heavy vehicles from 100 hours, from Saturday to Wednesday, as the public works department is undertaking repairs of the road at Gaimukh ghat. An exception has been made for emergency heavy vehicles. The mega block is likely to create hurdles for light vehicles as diversions will result in congestion not only on Ghodbunder Road but also on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad road and Thane city in general.

According to a notice by the Thane Traffic Division, at Gaimukh Ghat, during roadwork on the Ghodbunder-Thane carriageway, light vehicles going towards Thane from the Kajupada side will be diverted. Motorists should take the cut near the Indian petrol pump, drive on the wrong side of the Thane-Varasave carriageway and proceed via the cut in front of Nirantar Centre towards Gaimukh and onwards towards their destination.
