MSRDC Implements Multi-Layered Rockfall Protection on Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link
Following a July 6 landslide triggered by heavy rainfall on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway's Missing Link, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) is implementing multi-layered rockfall protection measures. These include installing Swiss-made high-tensile steel mesh, diverting water channels, anchoring loose rocks with steel bolts, and erecting steel barriers. About 15-60% of the work, advised by IIT Bombay and executed by Navayuga Engineering, has been completed to secure the hillside above tunnel mouths and prevent future rockfalls.
