More than a lakh motorists who were caught up in a massive traffic gridlock on Mumbai-Pune Expressway earlier this month after a gas tanker mishap will get toll refund cumulatively valued at Rs 5.16 crore, a senior Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) official said on Sunday.

On February 3, a gas tanker turned turtle on the Khopoli stretch of the expressway, leading to a 33-hour disruption which saw traffic come to a standstill for several kilometres, leaving many motorists and passengers facing a shortage of water, food and other basic amenities.
