Mumbai Traffic Update: Slippery Road in Bhandup After Oil and Drainage Spill Near Pumping Station Signal

Oil and drainage slurry spilled onto a busy road near the Bhandup Pumping Station signal during ongoing sewerage work carried out by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) posted the Mumbai News page on X. Commuters are advised to drive safely on this path as there is a high risk of an accident. The oily residue has made the road extremely slippery, increasing the chances of accidents, particularly for two-wheeler riders. Motorists have been advised to reduce speed and maintain caution while passing through the stretch. Civic officials and traffic authorities have urged drivers to stay alert, follow lane discipline, and cooperate with on-ground personnel managing the situation to avoid mishaps during peak travel hours.

In a separate development, the Mumbai Traffic Police announced a phased road closure plan for repair work on the structurally weakened Parel TT Flyover. According to the official notification, the northbound carriageway of the flyover will remain closed round-the-clock for all vehicles between March 9 and April 15. After this phase, the southbound section will be shut from April 16 to May 31 to allow repair and strengthening work. Authorities have urged motorists to follow the designated diversions and plan their journeys in advance to avoid delays during the extended closure period.

During the first phase, vehicles travelling towards Dadar TT from the northbound side of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road will be diverted through the slip road of Parel TT Bridge and the slip road of Hindmata Bridge between 7 am and 4 pm. From 4 pm to 10 pm, traffic heading towards Dadar TT will pass via the southbound carriageway of the Parel TT Bridge and Hindmata Bridge before being redirected back to the northbound side of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road, ensuring regulated movement during peak evening hours.

Similarly, during the second phase of the repair project, vehicles moving towards Byculla from the southbound side of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road will be rerouted through Hindmata Bridge and Parel TT Bridge between 7 am and 4 pm. After 4 pm, traffic will be directed through the southbound slip road of the Parel TT Bridge.
