The traffic department has issued a notification regarding upcoming roadwork on the newly constructed bridge near Kolad. This closure is scheduled for July 18th and 19th, from noon until 4 PM each day. Both lanes of the highway will be closed during these hours. Commuters are advised to seek alternative routes during this period.
For the past 12 years, ongoing road improvements from Palaspe to Indapur have been underway.

Heavy machinery for landscaping has been mobilized for this purpose.
Due to the nature of these landscaping tasks, temporary road closures are necessary. Contractors have coordinated with the traffic department to ensure smooth traffic management during this period.
