Traffic heading towards Mumbai on the Hindu Hriday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg will face three one-hour closures daily between October 26 and November 6, 2026, as authorities carry out safety work to prevent rocks and debris from falling onto the highway.

The restrictions will apply to the stretch between Bharveer Interchange and Igatpuri Interchange. The work will involve installing protective netting near a tunnel entrance and along vulnerable mountain slopes to reduce the risk of falling rocks endangering motorists.
