Pune Mumbai Highway : Only Cars Allowed to Commute From Shingroba Ghat : Informs Highway Police
Due to landslide on Pune-Mumbai highway on 23 July, only cars have been permitted to use the Shingroba ghat route on Pune-Mumbai highway. As per information, there was a landslide on the Pune Mumbai Expressway near Adoshi tunnel and Lonavala. The Mumbai channel on the expressway was closed today between 12:00 and 2:00 p.m. to remove the debris from the crevasse and stones stuck on the road. The old Pune Mumbai highway will continue at Shingroba Ghat for cars only till the traffic normalises, informed Highway State Police.
The decision comes in the backdrop of 2 massive landslides which occurred at Adoshi toll naka and near Lonavala.
On the night of 23rd July, a landslide happened near the Adoshi tunnel, closing all three lanes and leaving only one free for vehicles to pass. However, at 3 am, another landslide occurred near Lonavala, forcing traffic to be delayed once more. Currently, the highway will be closed to heavy vehicles between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. Heavy vehicles have been halted at Urse Toll Naka (Kiwale), and only cars are permitted to proceed.
At the moment, two lanes have been opened. At the moment, only four-wheelers are permitted. Heavy vehicles have been halted prior to Lonavala. Despite the fact that traffic is moving, the quantity of automobiles is enormous. As a result, there is a traffic bottleneck in Lonavala Ghat.
