Hey Pune peeps, get ready for some exciting news! The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) is gearing up for a major expansion of the Pune-Mumbai Expressway. The plan? To increase the current six-lane highway to a whopping eight lanes.
Why, you ask? Well, with around 1.5 lakh vehicles hitting the road every day, it’s no surprise that traffic congestion has become a major issue. The goal of this expansion is to ease the traffic woes and make commuting between Pune and Mumbai a breeze.
The proposal has been submitted to the Maharashtra State Government for approval, and if all goes well, the project is expected to be completed within the next three years. Once finished, the expressway will boast eight continuous lanes, ensuring a smoother and faster journey for all.
So, what’s the plan exactly? The current three-lane structure on each side will be expanded to four lanes, with key sections like the stretch from the Khalapur toll plaza to the Khopoli exit and the area near the Urse toll plaza getting a much-needed upgrade.
But wait, there’s more! The “Missing Link” project is also in full swing, with a 13.3 km alternative road connecting Khopoli Exit to Kusgaon well on its way. This project includes two impressive tunnels and construction of Asia’s largest valley bridge, making it a game-changer for commuters.
With this eight-lane expressway in the works, we can expect a significant improvement in traffic flow and reduced travel time between Pune and Mumbai. So, get ready to zip through the highway with ease and enjoy a more efficient travel experience. Cheers to smoother roads ahead!
