Maharashtra's 13.3 km 'missing link' on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, designed to bypass the congested Lonavala stretch, is nearing completion and is expected to open by March 2026. This project features two tunnels and two cable-stayed bridges, aiming to reduce travel time between Mumbai and Pune by approximately 30 minutes. Despite facing geographical and weather challenges, major construction is complete, with final touches underway.
