MUMBAI: Traffic on the Pune-bound lanes of the Mumbai-Pune Expressway will be stopped for two hours on Friday to erect a gantry at Lonvala, an official said.
The work will take place between 12 noon and 2pm and Pune-bound motorists are urged to exit the expressway at Khandala Ghat and re-enter it at Valavan toll plaza near Lonavala, a Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation release said on Thursday.
The temporary closure of the Pune lane forms an integral part of a more extensive initiative taken by MSRDC which will improve the safety standards of the Expressway.
