Maharashtra Sets Nov. 13 Target to Temporarily Move Dahisar Toll Plaza

The shift is a temporary traffic-relief measure pending NHAI approval for a permanent relocation.

Overview

  • Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik inspected the site on November 8 and issued strict orders to complete the move by November 13.
  • The plaza is planned to shift near Western Hotel, roughly 2 km ahead of the current location, to ease persistent bottlenecks for Mira-Bhayandar commuters.
  • Officials have been told to remove encroachments and illegal structures at the relocation site, with Sarnaik promising to personally monitor the work.
  • An earlier November 8 timeline slipped after NHAI asked MSRDC for a detailed technical proposal rather than a general plan.
  • Sarnaik also highlighted upcoming strict enforcement of the ‘No PUC, No Fuel’ rule across Maharashtra to reduce vehicle pollution.
