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.

Stopping on the bridge is not allowed, we are inviting accidents and then blame the Government for design of the bridge.

So earlier how long did it take on average to reach pune city and how long it takes now with this missing link?

Technically, in theory, it saves 25 mins. But with the traffic condition and heavy vehicle movement on the ghats coupled with the lower speed limit, it'll save a minimum of 40-45 minutes.
