Traffic snarls at Nahur railway station

The road connecting the Eastern Express highway and Hedgewar chowk(Bhandup Sonapur junction) on LBS road, witnesses heavy traffic throughout the day. The road has already been widened to a large extent. The road becomes narrow near Nahur railway station, as the bridge above the railway line is narrow. So, traffic jam occurs here during peak hours.

Also, people going to and coming out of Nahur railway station find it difficult to cross the road, as there is a continuous flow of vehicles at this point. There is no traffic signal at this area. No traffic police is present at this place to regulate the traffic. The footpath which was present on the bridge, is now used as a road by cars, auto rickshaws and two wheelers.

Now, there is hardly any space for pedestrians to walk on the bridge. The authorities should widen the bridge for the smooth flow of vehicles. Proper footpath should also come up. Installing a traffic signal near the station will help people cross the road. The authorities can also build a skywalk from the station to this road for the fast dispersal of crowd.
