However, currently only two lanes are operating and the other two lanes are kept closed due to heavy flow of water coming from the hills above.
After removing the debris, the road was cleaned using specialized equipment to leave no traces of slush or debris to ensure smooth vehicular movement.
MSRDC advises citizens avoid non-essential travel on the expressway during heavy rains and abide by the advisories issued by the authorities from time to time.
