A key road in Vasco will remain closed for five days as South Western Railway undertakes work on a new railway underpass near Vaddem. The closure affects the stretch between the Vaddem junction and the IOC junction, with traffic restrictions implemented to facilitate construction.

Authorities have announced diversions for light and heavy vehicles, advising motorists to follow signages and use alternate internal routes. Local residents have been urged to plan travel accordingly to avoid congestion during peak hours.

Officials stated that the temporary closure is essential to complete the excavation and structural work safely. Once finished, the underpass is expected to ease traffic movement and reduce delays at railway crossings in the area.
