Package-14 of the Samruddhi Mahamarg is set to be exceptional for several reasons. Besides boasting the country’s widest and Maharashtra’s longest road tunnels, it will provide motorists with a breathtaking view of the Sahyadri range while driving from Igatpuri to Mumbai on Viaduct-II, constructed over a dense forest area that overlooks the mountains. While the mega tunnels were completed in early 2021 within a record time of two years, Viaduct-II has been completed on schedule to finalise PKG-14 entirely.

“PKG-14 is complete, and only finishing touches inside the tunnel are being carried out at present. Viaduct-II, which spans 1.2 km, presented the second most challenging aspect of the project after the tunnels. Constructing it over a forest area with virtually no approach roads required careful planning,” stated Afcons’ Project Manager  Sekhar Das.
