Goods Vehicles Banned on Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link from November 1
From November 1, goods vehicles, including light goods carriers, will remain banned from the Missing Link on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway due to safety and technical concerns, particularly within tunnels. The Maharashtra Highway Police has set speed limits of 100 kmph for private cars and 80 kmph for passenger buses on this 13.3-km stretch. Vehicles carrying hazardous materials must continue using the old expressway route. These rules will stay in effect until further notice to prevent congestion and accidents.
