Heavy traffic is being reported on the Mumbai-Pune expressway due to the prolonged holiday season
The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, a vital route connecting the two major cities and a point of entry to well-liked vacation spots like Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani, is becoming more congested as the holiday and festive season draws near. People are complaining about longer travel times and frequent traffic jams, which is raising concerns about how effective the expressway is during rush hour.
An X user said “Finally. After 7 hours and 30 minutes I have reached Pune, from Mumbai. New record!”
An X user said “Traffic on the ghats. 45 minutes congestion.”
An X user stated “Truck truck everywhere not a place to cross. Congestion of 43 minutes on Express-less way.”
An X user said “Already a 30 mins delay at 12.30 pm today on Expressway in the ghats towards Pune. Weekend rush started or some other reason?”
An X user said “For the 1-1.5 hour jams on this “expressway” they should not charge full toll until they get their act sorted. It’s a pathetic state of an expressway.”
Once a representation of cutting-edge infrastructure, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway now causes annoyance to drivers during rush hours. As the holiday season intensifies, it is critical to resolve these traffic problems in order to facilitate commuters’ travel to various vacation destinations.
