Heavy downpour on Monday night and Tuesday morning in Pune district led to traffic jams on the Pune-Mumbai expressway, bringing it to a crawl near Lonavla.
Vehicular movement from Pune towards Mumbai near Adoshi tunnel, was slow due to the incessant rainfall over the last 24 hours. The traffic congestion started along the ghat section of the expressway.
“There were reports of traffic jam near the toll plaza. Barring that, traffic flow is smooth. Considering heavy downpour in Mumbai and Pune, the state highway police are taking all precautions,” said Milind Mohite, superintendent of police (highways).
