Ghodbunder Road Repairs Delayed Due To Heavy Rain; Traffic Diversions Planned For Gaimukh Ghat
In another news story from Thane, Ghodbunder Road in Thane plays a vital role in connectivity, linking areas such as Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai, Virar, Borivali, and Dahisar. Planned repair work on this key stretch, initially set for August 15 to 18, has been postponed due to persistent rainfall and the likelihood of increased traffic congestion during the holiday weekend.
This delay has affected commuters, especially since the road is known to develop potholes during the monsoon. The Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation had scheduled asphalt resurfacing on the Gaimukh Ghat Road section, which would have required significant traffic diversions.
These included heavy vehicle restrictions and redirection via Bhiwandi-Kalher, the Mumbai-Nashik Highway, and Chinchoti. However, these diversion plans have now been suspended. The postponement was necessary due to Independence Day on August 15, which triggered a long weekend and a surge in traffic.
