PONDA: Borim-Bethora bypass Highway certainly seems like a Death Trap for motorists as a huge crater developed in the middle of the road on Sharp turn poses a huge risk to the motorist’s lives.
Locals demand authorities take action before any untoward incident.
Sandeep Parkar, the social activist, said a huge pothole at the sharp turn of Bythakhol, Bori to Betoda Bagal road is currently inviting accidents.
A pothole in the middle of the road will likely cause a major accident day and night.
To prevent accidents, the motorists are demanding that the PWD department immediately fill up the dangerous pothole, he said.
“The two-meter wide pothole seen in the middle of the curving road has become dangerous for a small car. Many vehicles try to avoid this huge pothole, wjhich might have been a result of road caving in,” he said.
Locals said the traffic while passing through the rough route from Bythakhol Bori is already an accident-prone zone.
The potholes on the newly hot mixed roads have become a topic of discussion among the local people.
