3 hrs to cross 3 kms, say frustrated commuters on Mumbai-A’bad NH

​​Ongoing concreting work on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway has caused significant traffic disruptions, with vehicles stranded for hours and chaos prevailing due to mismanagement. White topping work near the Khaniwade toll plaza and Tungareshwar temple, executed by contractor Nirmal BuildInfra Private Limited, has reportedly been initiated without obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from local police, leading to a chaotic situation.
Commuters, including ambulances and airport-bound cabs, have faced extensive delays, particularly at night when unregulated traffic forces inter-state heavy vehicles to shut down engines for prolonged periods.
The impact is notably severe on southbound traffic, especially at Chinchoti Phata, causing extended waits to cross the Varsova bridge. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Prakash Gaikwad acknowledged the lack of communication from the contractor and emphasized the need for an NOC.
