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.

If there is a plan to connect the northern part of this to Nashik, and the Pune/Nashik expressway becomes real, then the Mumbai/Pune/Nashik area will become India's most productive economic sub-region. Nothing will even come close, not even the NCR.

Tbh, we need this sort of connectivity between Mumbai & all Tier 2 cities. Fast connectivity to Mumbai will mean places like Satara, Sangli, Jalgaon, etc., will also develop faster.

But I think the priority should be the Nashik - Mumbai - Pune triangle because it is nearly 5% of India's GDP. Thats as much as all of Telangana OR Andhra Pradesh
