Expressway control said, "On Mumbai-Pune Expressway, especially on the 7-kilometre stretch near Shedung point, the traffic is moving slowly. Due to the fear of a rise in water level on the road, out of the three lanes, only two lanes are being used while the third lane is stopped. Due to which segregating the vehicles and their movement is a problem."
