CIDCO — High accident rate on Sion Panvel highway - Kharghar Bridge

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Dear Sir, This is with reference to the construction/repairing work on Kharghar Bridge on Sion Panvel Highway.I am a resident of Kharghar - Sector - 02 and i have been witnessing a large no of accidents on this bridge, occurring almost on a daily basis due to the repairing work going on in the bridge by some workers. People are driving cars at full speed on the bridge and suddenly at the middle, a board comes up asking them to divert / slow down, resulting in head-on collision by subsequent cars in a row. As a result, many cars are getting damaged and lives are being put at stake. This is due to the faulty design of the warning system put up to divert/slow down. This should be initiated from the start of the bridge and not in the middle where the drivers are caught unawares. This is turning into a massacre. I strongly urge you to look into the matter and ask for suitable remedies, hold the party responsible and fine them heavily. Its getting very tough to witness such huge number of accidents on a daily basis going unnoticed. Even the police authorities / security personnel are of no help here. Hoping for quick recovery and action.
