The Kharegaon underpass, which connects both sides of the Mumbai–Nashik Highway, will remain closed to private and heavy vehicles for more than four months,

\n\n

from 15 December to 9 April, according to media reports. Authorities have shut the underpass to carry out widening work on the highway. Many motorists from Kalwa–Mumbra, Navi Mumbai, Bhiwandi and Kalyan-Dombivli usually use this route to travel to and from Nashik, Gujarat, Panvel and the Konkan region. Officials have now advised them to use alternative roads. According to a traffic department notice, vehicles coming from the Mumbai side towards Kharegaon must turn left at the Kharegaon Toll Plaza and pass through Gammon Parsik Circle. Vehicles travelling from Nashik must divert via Saket Cut. Those heading towards Bhiwandi and Thane should follow the Kharegaon Parsik Circle–Gammon Circle–Kharegaon Toll Plaza route and then continue via Kharegaon–Kalwa Naka, reported The Times of India.
