Navi Mumbai: Navi Mumbai Police has recently released a traffic advisory for commuters in the region, citing ongoing bridge construction near Turbhe Store as the reason behind the cautionary measures. Due to this construction work, traffic flow has been restricted to a single lane, prompting authorities to advise against using the Kopri Bridge route for reaching destinations such as Thane, Vashi, APMC, Nerul, and Seawoods. Instead, commuters are urged to opt for the Kopri Bridge Road in Thane as an alternative route., Mumbai News - Times Now
