Mumbai-Pune Missing Link: Cars Only for First 6 Months? Safety Concerns Raised
•Proposal sent to Maharashtra government to open Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link only for passenger vehicles for the first six months.
•The request aims to prioritize safety and traffic control, especially in tunnel sections, by restricting heavy vehicles initially.
•The plan suggests allowing only cars, SUVs, and light motor vehicles to study traffic movement and test the new system.
•Letters regarding this appeal have been sent to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, and MSRTC Vice Chairman Anil Gaikwad.
•The 13.3-km Missing Link, expected to open on May 1, will bypass a 19.8-km ghat stretch and reduce travel time by about 30 minutes.
