As per the information given by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) the block was to be applied on the expressway between 12 noon and 2 pm on Friday. So, commuters were told to travel by alternate route.
Work was undertaken at Lonavla exit on Pune-Mumbai Expressway, said officials.
The number of accidents on the expressway has increased for the past few days. Keeping this in mind, overhead gantry has been installed by the MSRDC and soon CCTVs will be installed on the gantry.
