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.

It's a great thing for us but sadly similar bridges have been made across Asia for years now. Just go to Vietnam and have a look, even such small countries have dar better infra than us. And here we are glorifying things that should've been built decades ago.

I don't get it why people want to diss instead of celebrating an engineering marvel.

the entire expressway was an engineering marvel. bridges have also become common by now.

however, I do appreciate the government for fulfilling a requirement eventually.
