2021 Update - The roadwork is completed now in last few year and the roads in Airoli are much better
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like the Airoli civic authorities are trying to test the patience of Airoli residents. There are two main roads that keeps Airoli traffic flowing. One that goes from Airoli circle towards Patni Campus and joins Thane-Belapur road and other one which goes from Circle straight to Thane-Belapur road.The road work on the Airoli Circle to Patni road started two months back and is nearly half complete. One side of the road is closed because of this road, and the traffic was using one side only. This itself was causing lot of traffic jams near the Airoli circle and this road.
To add to the residents misery, the authorities decided to start work on the other main road and have dug that road also. Now both the roads are choked and it becomes nightmare for people living in this area to go out and come back to their home. Especially in the evening when you are all tired and want to get home quickly, you get stuck in traffic jams. The chocking of the main two roads have triggered jams in the internal streets also. Yesterday when I was coming home in the evening it took me one and half hours to reach from Airoli circle to Sector-19. I encountered jams on many roads and every alternate route I took was jammed. Earlier it could reach home in less than 10 minutes on the same road. It was really a nightmare and it forced me to start this blog.
I hope the civic authorities will give some considerations to the miseries of the residents and plan the work in such a way that it eases the miseries. They should immediately stop the work on the main road and put tar on it and open it for traffic. Till the time the other road (Airoli circle to Patni) work is not complete, they should not start work on the main road.
