As a precautionary measure, the traffic on either side of the road has been diverted,” a police officer said. However, the closure of the bypass has led to traffic snarls in the internal parts of the city. The Mumbra bypass on the National Highway 4 (Mumbai-Pune highway) is a crucial link to traffic from Delhi-Ahmedabad-Mumbai (NH3) and Agra-Nashik-Mumbai (NH8) going towards Panvel, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), Pune and beyond, and is mostly used by heavy vehicles.
