If everything goes to plan, by early next year, motorists driving from Mumbai to Pune via the expressway will face no traffic jams along the ghat section as work on the Mumbai-Pune missing link project is expected to be completed in a year. The road tunneling work has been completed and work on the 170-metre-high cable-stayed bridge is in progress. The tunnels are 23-metre-wide each, making them the widest in the world, while the cable-stayed bridge is the highest in the country.
A senior Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) official said, “The Mumbai-Pune missing link project is moving forward quickly, with tunnelling complete and concreting underway. The most difficult part—construction of the cable-stayed bridge that will connect the Mumbai-Pune expressway to the tunnels—is currently underway, and we anticipate that the entire project will be complete in another year.”
