Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated the 13.3-km-long 'Missing Link' project on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, terming it an 'engineering marvel' and 'iconic project.'
The key project has been constructed to bypass the steep mountain pass section, improving road safety and reducing travel time between the two key cities.
Developed by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) at a cost of ₹7,000 crore, the project features the widest road tunnel in the world and the tallest cable-stayed bridge in the country.
Fadnavis said the Missing Project will act as an 'economic multiplier' and help create an economy worth ₹70,000 crore by boosting investments, connectivity, and industrial growth along the corridor.
