Pune-Mumbai Expressway Traffic Jam For Hours. Holiday Rush

Heavy tourist rush causes major Pune-Mumbai expressway traffic jam. Thousands of vehicles were stuck in a 12 km traffic jam as holiday-makers headed to Mahabaleshwar and Goa for Christmas and New Year celebrations. The congestion left travellers stranded for several hours on the busy highway.

With the Pune-Mumbai expressway tourist rush, traffic police jump into action as massive traffic hits Khandala Ghat. A 10-12 km backup developed on the Mumbai-Pune route starting Wednesday, with tourist vehicles stuck for hours. According to the latest Pune Mumbai expressway traffic updates, police blocked heavy vehicles and redirected Mumbai traffic to Pune lanes to help clear the jam. Despite these efforts, Mumbai traffic queues remained lengthy.

Holiday Rush Creates Chaos As Travellers Head To Tourist Spots

Travellers heading to popular holiday destinations like Lonavala, Khandala, and Mahabaleshwar for Christmas and New Year celebrations caused severe traffic congestion on both the Expressway and the old Pune-Mumbai Highway. Adding to the problem there were frequent vehicle breakdowns along the route.

Frustrated commuters took to social media to share their experiences, with many reporting delays of more than two hours. A high number of private vehicles heading to tourist spots in Kolhapur, Panchgani, and the Konkan region contributed to the massive backup.

Police urged travellers to carefully plan their journeys over the next 10 days to avoid getting caught in traffic. They also stressed the importance of following traffic rules to prevent further congestion.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
