Uneven surfaces on stretch between Thane and the Padgha toll plaza on the Mumbai-Nashik highway
Just a couple of months after being concreted, a stretch on the Mumbai-Nashik highway near Bhiwandi has already started developing cracks. Motorists have also been complaining about potholes on the arterial stretch. There are several spots where road widening and bridge construction work is in progress between Thane and the Padgha toll plaza, leading to heavy traffic congestion during morning and evening peak hours.
