Mumbai-Pune Expressway expansion to alleviate traffic
The Mumbai-Pune Expressway is set for a major makeover—think wider roads and smoother drives.
Starting in 2026, the highway will expand from six to 10 lanes to finally tackle that endless traffic jam between two of Maharashtra's busiest cities.
The project comes with a hefty price tag of over ₹14,000 crore, but promises safer and faster trips for everyone.
'Missing Link' project almost done
Alongside the main expansion, the much-awaited 'Missing Link' project is almost done.
With new tunnels and a massive viaduct, it could shave up to 25 minutes off your journey.
The goal? Less congestion and a safer ride between Mumbai and Pune.

Plus, better connectivity could boost trade, jobs, and even weekend getaways between these two cities—making life just a bit easier for thousands every day.
