Sources say the iron holding on the side of the expressway has become old and so the area is landslide prone.

Both the lanes of the expressway have been closed and the Highway Police have appealed to motorists to use the old Mumbai-Pune road.

The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, a nearly 100 kilometre long six-lane road, was constructed in 2002. It usually sees high traffic over the weekend with people travelling from Mumbai to Pune and vice-versa.
