Summary:
Pimpri Chinchwad: Hundreds of motorists commuting via the busy Pune-Mumbai highway were inconvenienced for three hours due to a massive traffic jam. In 2007, PCMC constructed a grade separator at Pimpri to enable vehicles to skip the traffic signals at Babasaheb Ambedkar junction and Ahilyabai Holkar junction. A rather high container truck had entered the grade separator while travelling from Chinchwad and was stuck at Morwadi. In the opposite direction, traffic from Chinchwad going toward Nashik Phata was diverted onto the service road from Morwadi. A team of six traffic police personnel controlled the traffic.The traffic passing through the concrete lanes towards Chinchwad was diverted from Pimpri Military Dairy Farm onto the service road..
