Road Construction on Highway Increases Travel Time Between Nashik and Mumbai

Travel time between Nashik and Mumbai has risen by two hours due to ongoing road construction work on the Mumbai-Agra highway.

Traffic has been diverted onto adjacent road sections, creating situations where one side of the road has two-way traffic between Nashik and Igatpuri. Abhay Kulkarni from Nashik First organisation highlighted the poor condition of the highway, with continuous work occurring between Nashik and Thane.

Commuters have reported delays, with travel times increasing from three hours to at least five, and in some cases, over six hours. Lack of traffic management, such as lane discipline, has raised concerns about potential accidents.

Rajendra Phad from the Nashik Transport Association urged for the deployment of traffic personnel to ensure safer passage and alleviate traffic jams. NHAI officials confirmed that the construction work would be completed in a few months, improving traffic flow.
