Corridor Description
A very busy road corridor, part of the Golden Quadrilateral on the Mumbai Bangalore-Chennai arm. Connecting the bustling metropolis of Mumbai with the industrial and cultural centre of Pune.
This highway has not only provided faster and better connectivity between the cities, it has also led to significant value creation. More importantly, it has led to the expansion of urban limits of both Pune and Mumbai, aiding in the decongestion of the two cities.
