In Mumbai, as the Dindoshi flyover is to be closed for repairs in the next fortnight, traffic snarls are expected up to Goregaon on the south-bound carriageway of the Western Express Highway (WEH). The flyover has developed a crater and other faults that need to be fixed.
The Western Express Highway is one of the busiest corridors in the city as it caters to suburban as well as inter-city traffic, with many vehicles from outside the state using it.
On October 1, vehicles were held up for hours in the morning all the way back up to Kandivli as the lane on which the pothole had developed was kept out of bounds for motorists.
