Mumbai-Pune Expressway Gridlock: 7 KM Traffic Jam Strands Travelers on Weekend

• Severe traffic congestion hit the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and old Mumbai-Pune Highway since Saturday morning.
• Increased weekend travel and three consecutive holidays led to a surge in vehicles heading towards Pune.
• The Khopoli-Bor Ghat area, especially Khopoli and Khandala Ghats, experienced the worst congestion.
• Heavy vehicles failing to maintain lane discipline worsened the traffic situation.
• A 6-7 kilometer long queue of vehicles formed on the Mumbai to Pune lane, causing hours of delay for commuters.
• Raigad Traffic Police, Pune Traffic Police, and Highway Traffic Police are jointly working to manage the traffic.

Why It Matters: Weekend rush and lane indiscipline caused a massive 7 km traffic jam on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
