Heavy rainfall overnight on Tuesday and in the early hours of Wednesday caused a portion of the road at Dadar TT Circle to cave in on the left turn towards Wadala. The damaged patch was only a few inches deep and located near the footpath, helping motorists avoid major trouble. Locals said two-wheeler riders were most affected as they usually take the narrower turn along the footpath.

A traffic policeman told this newspaper, “We have been on duty since around 3 am and have not seen any accidents. The repair was done so quickly that it became difficult to identify the damaged spot,” he said.
