Sources said that unscientific cutting of the hillock during widening of the road had led to landslips.
Many vehicles were stuck on the highway for several hours.
The local authorities managed to clear the highway for vehicles by June 17 Tuesday morning.
The stretch is part of the Shiradi Ghat, which has been witnessing repeated landslips for the past couple of years.
