Lava flow contact is exposed ~1m above from road level. The flow contact is relatively highly weathered than the upper portion and results in development of overhangings of rock which lies over it. So proper slope treatment is recommended.

Neral-Matheran Ghat road
Clear chocked hillside drain. Removal of loose rock blocks lying over the slope.
Decrease the water content or pore pressure of the rock and diverting the surface runoff above the slope. 
Use of rock bolts and shotcrete to stabilize rocky slopes
Preparatory Factors: Presence of close spaced haphazardly jointed rock mass.
Formation of wedges in rocks that results in wedge failure.
Vesicular nature of basalt.
Spheroidal weathering of rocks. Accelerating Factors: Percolation of rain water in to the
