Nagpur: In an important update for commuters, traffic on the Nagpur–Mumbai Samruddhi Mahamarg Expressway will be suspended in phases between December 27 and December 29 due to infrastructure-related work at select locations along the highway.
According to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), the temporary traffic closures are required for the installation of gantries under the Highway Traffic Management System (HTMS) on the Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg. The work will be carried out in the Dhamangaon Railway and Chandur Railway areas of Amravati district.
