Mumbai-Pune Expressway 'Missing Link' Nears Completion

05 Feb 2025 CW Team

The long-awaited "Missing Link" on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway is now 92% complete and is expected to open by August 2025. The 13.3-km stretch, developed by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), will significantly improve connectivity between Khopoli and Kusgaon.

This eight-lane access-controlled expressway bypasses the steep 19-km Khandala Ghat section, reducing the route by 5.7 km and cutting travel time by 20-30 minutes. The new alignment is designed to ease monsoon-induced congestion and minimize landslide risks.

The project features two tunnels—1.75 km and 8.92 km long—along with two cable-stayed bridges measuring 770 meters and 645 meters. The 23.75-meter-wide underground tunnel will be the widest road tunnel in Asia, accommodating eight lanes with dedicated emergency lanes.

With an estimated cost of Rs 66 billion, this engineering marvel is set to enhance travel safety and efficiency on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
