Mumbai: The Public Works Department (PWD) which looks after the maintenance of Sion-Panvel Highway have found the reason behind the bad condition of the road stretch near Priyadarshini Circle because of which the motorists have to drive through uneven paver blocks patch and witness bumpy rides.

The PWD has found that the shoddy work done by the contractor appointed by MSRDC is the reason for the bad condition of the road.
