Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) is on track to complete the Samruddhi Mahamarg, a key infrastructure project, by September 2024. The final 76 km stretch of this ambitious expressway is set to become operational shortly.

The Samruddhi Mahamarg, also known as the Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway, is a major road network designed to significantly reduce travel time between Mumbai and Nagpur. Once fully operational, it is expected to enhance connectivity, boost economic activity, and promote regional development by providing a high-speed, efficient transportation corridor.

MSRDC officials have confirmed that construction is progressing rapidly, with substantial work already completed on the remaining stretch. The expressway will feature modern amenities and safety features, aligning with its goal to support increased trade and travel within Maharashtra and beyond.

The completion of this expressway is anticipated to have a transformative impact on the state?s infrastructure, potentially improving logistics, fostering economic growth, and facilitating easier access to various regions. The project reflects Maharashtra's commitment to developing robust transportation networks to support its growing economy.
