Mumbai-Pune Expressway during the early hours of Wednesday witnessed massive traffic congestion for more than seven hours after a chemical gas tanker overturned near the Adoshi tunnel in the Khandala Ghat section on Tuesday evening. Massive traffic congestion at the expressway severely disrupts vehicular movement on one of Maharashtra’s busiest corridors.

The prolonged traffic congestion left hundreds of commuters stranded for hours, triggering outrage on social media. Commuters who have been stuck in traffic since the last few hours, on social media platform X wrote, “Over 1 hour stuck in massive traffic on the Mumbai Pune Expressway. Tolls are collected efficiently. When will commuters get efficient roads?”
