Abstract:

Mumbai-Pune is the India’s first expressway, which passes from the mountainous regions of the Deccan Trap. It has suffered from a large number of rockfall and landslides during 2003-2004. A very large number of accidents have occurred on the Mumbai-Pune expressway. On the basis of frequency and magnitude of the recorded incidences of rockfall on the expressway. It have been taken in need of investigations and mitigation. Based on the geological and geotechnical investigations, various causes for rockfall and location at this location have been established.
