NHAI says ‘no’ for additional structures on h’way in Nashik

In Nashik, work on the Mumbai-Agra national highway passing through the city can be undertaken only during the operation and maintenance period as the project cost has exceeded its limit, said the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). With freak accidents becoming frequent over the widened Mumbai-Agra national highway, both commuters and residents along the highway come up with new demands in respect to the inconveniences faced by them.

At a recent review meeting conducted by district guardian minister Chhagan Bhujbal following the death of a youth, in an accident near the Indiranagar underpass, traffic police officials pointed out the necessity of underpasses in the KK Wagh College, B D Kamgar Nagar and Jatra Hotel areas. They also raised demands for facilities such as traffic signals, speed-breakers, cat eye reflectors and signboards to stop accidents in the future.
