Thane Traffic Update: Night Closure Near Cadbury Metro Station From Nov 29; Check Full Diversion Plan

The Thane Police has issued a week-long night traffic advisory on the Mumbai-Nashik route near Cadbury Junction to support ongoing metro construction work. As per the update, restrictions will be enforced from November 29 to December 6, between 11 pm and 5 am every night.

According to the official notification, the Wagle Transport Sub-Division will be installing a roof water drainage gutter at the upcoming Cadbury Metro Station in Hatti. Since the operation requires deploying a 30-tonne mobile crane on the Cadbury flyover, a temporary closure has been deemed necessary.

Which Road Will Be Shut?

All categories of vehicles travelling from Mumbai to Nashik-Ghodbunder via the Nitin Over Bridge will be stopped near the divider at the start of the Nitin Bridge climb, where the closure has been implemented.

Alternate Route for Commuters

Vehicles moving along the affected route will be diverted from the intersection at the beginning of the Nitin Bridge climb. From there, they will proceed:

• via the slip road to Nitin Junction,
• onward to Cadbury Junction,
• and then through the slip road to Kapurbawdi, before heading toward their intended destination.

The Thane Police clarified that essential and emergency vehicles-including police vehicles, fire brigade trucks, ambulances, green corridor movements, and oxygen supply vehicles-will be exempt from the restrictions.

Navi Mumbai Traffic Alert

Separately, a crucial service road near the Targhar Bridge, close to the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), will remain closed for a week for repair work ahead of the start of flight operations. The Navi Mumbai Traffic Department has confirmed that this closure will remain in effect from 12:01 am on November 25 until midnight on December 1.

To reduce inconvenience, traffic will be diverted as follows: vehicles will be rerouted from the Targhar Bridge starting cut via Gavhan Fata-Belapur Road, then turning at Killa Junction, and continuing toward their respective destinations.
