Traffic movement from Navi Mumbai towards Mumbai and Thane is being diverted for a month due to the concretisation of a lane on the Uran Phata bridge. The lane will remain closed till March 22, with vehicles travelling via the Sion-Panvel highway being rerouted through alternative roads.

According to a notification, the Uran Phata bridge on the Sion-Panvel Highway has deteriorated due to frequent repairs over the years, leading to recurring traffic disruptions. Additionally, the descent on the Mumbai-bound lane has posed a safety risk for two-wheeler riders. To address these issues, authorities have decided to carry out full-scale concretisation of the lane.
