Mumbai-Pune Expressway: 3km Traffic Jam, Police Implement 15-Minute Block to Clear Congestion

• Commuters on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway faced a 3-4 km long traffic jam on the Mumbai to Pune lane.
• The congestion was particularly severe between Amrutanjan Bridge and Dattawadi, disrupting vehicle movement.
• Increased morning traffic, difficult ghat turns, and vehicle breakdowns contributed to the slowdown.

• Commuters are advised to be patient and consider waiting in Lonavala or Khalapur until traffic normalizes.
