Traffic on Mumbai-Pune Expressway to be Impacted for 3 Days Due for Bridge Construction
Traffic on Mumbai-Pune Expressway will be impacted from January 22 to January 24 as the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) will carry out the installation of girders for a bridge at Dongargaon and Kusgaon.
A release said that the girders are being installed for a new bridge at kilometre number 58/500, between Dongargaon and Kusgaon, on the expressway’s Pune-bound carriageway.
“The block between January 22 to 24 will start at noon and end at 3pm. Vehicular traffic from Mumbai to Pune will be diverted between Varsoli toll naka and Wadgaon via Old Mumbai-Pune National Highway. After 3pm, on all three days, traffic from Mumbai to Pune will be restored on the Pune-bound carriageway of the expressway,” the release said.
“However, traffic from Pune to Mumbai will continue on the expressway during the same time. Motorists are advised to plan accordingly and follow the diverted routes during the specified period. They can contact the Mumbai-Pune Expressway Control Room in case of any issue,” it added.
According to officials, the work will be carried between 12 pm and 3 pm on these three days.
During the construction work, traffic from Mumbai to Pune on the Pune carriageway will be diverted via the Dehu road. Meanwhile, the traffic from Pune to Mumbai will continue uninterrupted on the expressway .
The MSRDC has requested passengers traveling on the expressway to plan their journeys accordingly and use the alternative route.
