The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has announced temporary traffic halts on the Hindu Hriday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg to facilitate installation of overhead gantries under the Highway Traffic Management System (HTMS).
The work will be carried out in nine phases between km 300.400 and km 365.800, covering stretches in Buldhana district (Lonara, Sindkhed Raja, Deulgaon Raja) and parts of Jalna district. During each phase, traffic on the affected carriageway will be completely halted for about 45 to 60 minutes, after which normal movement will resume.
