To ease traffic congestion until the completion of the Indapur and Mangaon bypass roads on the Mumbai–Goa National Highway, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has directed immediate work to redevelop four alternative roads. A media release from the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister’s office stated that a fund of Rs 15 crore has been sanctioned for these projects. These projects will ensure smoother travel for commuters using this route.

The four alternative routes set to be redeveloped to counter congestion on the Mumbai–Goa National Highway are the following

• Morba Road to Mumbai–Goa Highway
• Sainagar Canal Bridge to Uttekhol Canal Village
• Nizampur Canal Road to Bhadav Road (within Mangaon Nagar Panchayat limits)
• Indapur Canal Road to Wigavli Phata Road on the Mumbai–Goa Highway

These roads will help counter congestion at the high-traffic areas until the bypass work is completed. All the instructions and plans were approved by Deputy CM Ajit Pawar during a high-level meeting held at Mantralaya on Wednesday.
