Officials announced that the stretch between Savita Chemicals and Turbhe Railway Station will remain closed to all vehicular traffic from 9 PM on May 7 until midnight on May 14.

✅ Alternate Route 2: Heavy vehicles must turn left at the Fire Brigade Signal, Mahape, and travel via Turbhe MIDC.
✅ Alternate Route 3: Heavy vehicles can also take a left turn under the Savita Chemical bridge and continue via Turbhe MIDC.
Motorists are urged to plan their journeys accordingly and follow traffic advisories to avoid delays. The road closure aims to facilitate the smooth execution of the project and improve road conditions for long-term commuter benefits.
