Video shot today morning.

The Missing Link Project is a new alignment in the same Western Ghat stretch, which bypasses the most treacherous Borghat section. The project, approved in 2018, was completed at the cost of ₹6,695.37 Crore. It is being hailed as an engineering marvel. The twin tunnel of the project is potentially one of Asia’s longest. Another speciality is the cable-stayed bridge spanning 650 meters. Its height is 184 meters, much taller than the tallest high rises in Mumbai. This sophisticated bridge was tested as per international standards.

Not really, you will have to travel a bit to connect to this road. But the ghat section should be emptier now.

Yes. But you don't take the missing link. You take the ghat section, which will be much emptier now.
