Kalyan-Shilphata road in the Thane district of Maharashtra will remain closed from February 5 to 10, 2025, due to construction work on the Nilaje Railway flyover. Commuters and citizens of Kalyan, Dombivli and Ambernath areas will face heavy vehicular traffic. However, authorities route out alternate routes to ease traffic congestion in the region.
The work on the Nilaje Railway flyover near Palava Junction on the Kalyan-Shilphata road will be carried out from midnight on February 5 to midnight on February 10. Therefore, during this period, all vehicles coming towards Palava Junction on Shilphata Road will be suspended.
According to the information given by Deputy Commissioner of Police Pankaj Shirsat, the work of the Delhi JNPT dedicated high-speed rail freight section is underway by the railway administration. This railway line will pass under the Nilaje Railway flyover near Palava Junction Xperia Mall in Shilphata. The reconstruction work of the bridge has already started. Since this work cannot be done during rush hour, it has been decided to close all types of traffic from February 5 to 10.
