Work On New Expressway Between Pune And Aurangabad To Begin Soon

The Union Minister said that the time of travel from Nagpur to Pune, at a distance of around 720 kms, will be reduced to just 6 hours with the planned expressway connectivity.

“Under the leadership of the PM, we are building a highway from Aurangabad to Pune and soon its work will start, so that we can reach Pune from Nagpur in just 6 hours. We are also building 6 express highways in Maharashtra,” Gadkari said in Nagpur, Maharashtra on Saturday.

An access-controlled expressway will be made at a cost of Rs 10,000 crore between Aurangabad and Pune which are located at a distance of around 225 kms. Earlier this year, Union Minister Gadkari shared that this expressway will have no turns and vehicles will be able to commute at speeds of up to 140 kms per hour. The travel time between Aurangabad and Pune will reduce to 1.15 hours from the current 4-5 hours, he had added.
