Early Wednesday morning, commuters traveling along Thane-Belapur Road encountered a hindrance as an overturned container on the divider near Ghansoli disrupted the flow of traffic on Thane lane. As a result, traffic in the area is currently moving at a slow pace. Those commuting between Belapur and Mahape, with destinations in Thane and Mumbai, are being advised to opt for an alternate route via MIDC starting from the Sarovar Portico Hotel.
The Rabale traffic unit has reported that the container, carrying 18 tonnes of cargo, cannot be immediately removed due to damage to its body. Plans are underway to bring in an empty container to transfer the goods, following which the affected container and debris will be cleared.
The incident has caused a slowdown in traffic heading towards Thane and Mumbai, as the container toppled while ascending the flyover in Ghansoli.
