Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Back from Goa yesterday Dec 2 and rode via Chorla ghat both ways. Most parts of the road from Belgaum towards Jamboti has been patched up with gravel and smoothed over. After Delta restaurant towards the descent into Goa has also been patched up in similar fashion but there are a couple of places with potholes on corners which suddenly loom up. The 5 speed breakers located just as one exits Belgaum to the beginning of the ghat section and which used to lie on the straight section have all been levelled [emoji4]. Ride with caution. 95% of this ghat is in good condition. Since Amboli ghat is in ruins a lot of motorists are now using Chorla so expect an increased amount of traffic.

I'm planning a ride to Torna Fort on Dec 17th. Anyone knows the road conditions after exiting NH 48 at Nasrapur towards Velhe?

Had driven from Velhe to Nasrapur in March that time they were putting up new tar and ridden in monsoons from Khadakwasala to Pabhe was ok, what is your route?

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

You would be better off going via NH17. Smooth ride all the way from Mumbai via Pune, Satara, Karad and Kolhapur. You have a choice to cross over to the coast via Amba ghat from Karad or from Kolhapur via Gaganbawda.

I think there is 4 to 6 lane work going on NH17 especially in Raigad district. Do confirm first.

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Went for a morning ride yesterday towards Sholapur from Pune. Did about 100 km and road conditions are good all throughout. Best of all, once past Pune outskirts, there are no speed breakers.

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Does anyone know how road conditions are in Amba Ghat, between Karad (AH47) and Ratnagiri (NH17 on the coast)

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Condition as on 15th, Dec 2018 :
To whomever planning to visit Shirdi via Nagar road, avoid Ahmednagar-Shirdi bypass (Unless you have a bigger SUV or going by truck or don't care if your ride is damaged). Bypass road condition is extremely pathetic. Instead go through Ahmednagar town. The route through town might be longer in terms of KMS but time taken is almost the same if not less.

Absolutely agree. They have some nerve calling that shitty stretch a bypass and not surprised that it continues to be in a terrible state, despite having tried that nerve racking road a couple of years ago. The roads in Maharashtra really suck and lag way behind neighbouring states like KA, Guj and MP. Thanks for the update.

I can add TS as well. I rode from Hyderabad to Pune back in March-April 2016 and although it threw me the sweet Solapur road, the rest of it feels so beaten and discarded.
And what's with the dumb patch work they're doing now especially on the Nagar road all the way from Bombay Sappers to Kharadi Bypass?

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Hello,

I'm riding to Indore next week from Mumbai. Could someone please give an update? I read in today's Mumbai Mirror that the road is full of potholes, esp. the Thane-Bhiwandi stretch. I also saw some pretty scary looking photos of Kasara Ghat.

Thanks

Re: Updates on Road Condition: Maharashtra

Hi,

I would like to know the road conditions from Mumbai to Nashik. I went in early October last and the roads were really bad especially closer to Mumbai.
