Traffic Disrupted on Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway Due to Crater

A large crater on the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway in Sahapur, Thane disrupted traffic for several hours. The crater's video went viral. The affected area is the same location where a gantry crane collapse killed several workers last year. This stretch connects Nashik to Mumbai.

Traffic came to a standstill on the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway in Sahapur, Thane, after a large crater appeared, an official reported on Thursday.

A viral video of the crater shows it located between Shere Bere and Shendrun villages. This particular stretch is notorious for a gantry crane collapse last year that resulted in multiple fatalities among construction workers.

The affected section is part of the third phase of the 701-kilometre expressway that links Nashik to Mumbai, vital for commuters in Maharashtra.
