Re: Mumbai - Ahmedabad : Route Queries Quote:

Returned from Ahemdabad to Mumbai on 23rd June.
- Its the usual from Ahemdabad, enter NE1 and continue to NE4.
- Exit NE4 at Bharuch exit. The NE4 beyond this point is under construction and unfortunately, there are no barricades placed or any board to tell you to exit there. You may mistakenly just follow the existing signages that tell you to continue straight to Mumbai, only to return back. ![Cold Sweat](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/coldsweat.png)
- Luckily we were following Google Maps and exited at Bharuch. That's where Google took us to an internal road within Bharuch, Bharuch railway station is on this route. The internal route continues to Ankleshwar. You join NH48 at Ankleshwar.
- From Ankleshwar to Mumbai its the normal NH48.
Be Careful:
- RCC work is ongoing in Maharashtra side. It may not look it, upfront but, the road is raised 4-5 inches above the normal tar road and the transition from tar road to RCC road is abrupt, its like going over a short and steep ramp. It can give your car airtime if you are not within controlled speeds.
- As mentioned in the post above, there are several places where just the two lanes are concrete, the third lane is still tar. The third lane (which is still tar) is a good 5-6 inches below the RCC lane. Be very careful here, as Iron rebars are jutting out of the concrete side of the road and not all are pointing towards the ground, some are pointing upwards
Due to the sheer number of heavy vehicles plying on the road, the drive was way too hectic. I didn't quite enjoy this one.
