Some relief for commuters on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The much-awaited 13-km 'Missing Link' project is finally in its last stages.
The expressway between Khopoli and Sinhagad Institute (Pune) stands at 19 kilometers at present, much of which goes through the Lonavala-Khandala Ghat. With the new link, cars will not have to traverse the Ghat, cutting down the journey by about 30 minutes. This will make commuting safer and more convenient.
Named after Yashwantrao Chavan, this expressway was inaugurated in 2002 and handles approximately 75,000 vehicles daily. On holidays and weekends, this number swells to 110,000 to 120,000. This often leads to traffic jams and bottlenecks.
