More Hour-Long Traffic Blocks On Mumbai-Pune Expressway From Today

The Mumbai-Pune Expressway holds the distinction of being India's first access-controlled highway.

The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) is set to implement further hour-long roadblocks on the busy Mumbai-Pune Expressway this month commencing today, a move which is likely to affect movement of vehicles.

In a press release issued on Monday, MSRDC said these traffic blocks were necessitated by the ongoing installation of gantries at various points along the 95-km-long expressway as part of the Highway Management System.

These roadblocks will be enforced between 12 noon to 1 pm on a daily basis from October 17 to 19 and on October 26 at various locations along the highway, the release said.
