The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has announced a temporary traffic disruption on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway for the installation of a gantry. Scheduled for tomorrow, February 13, 2024, the operation will take place between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM at the 15.750-kilometer mark on the expressway.
During this period, both directions of traffic, encompassing light and heavy vehicles, will come to a halt to facilitate the seamless installation of the gantry. Motorists are urged to consider alternative routes to avoid delays and inconveniences.
For those commuting from Pune to Mumbai in light vehicles, the recommended diversion will guide them through the Mumbai canal and National Highway no. 48, following the conventional Pune-Mumbai route.
Similarly, light vehicles and buses heading from Pune to Mumbai via the expressway will be redirected from the Khopoli exit onto National Highway no. 48. The route will traverse the old Pune-Mumbai highway through Khopoli, rejoining the Mumbai canal route and passing through the Shedung toll plaza.
These temporary diversions aim to ensure the safety and efficiency of the gantry installation process. Commuters are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly, keeping in mind the scheduled traffic disruption.
