Watch | Maharashtra CM Shinde and Fadnavis inaugurate second phase of Nagpur-Mumbai ‘Samruddhi Expressway’ at Shirdi

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his deputy Devendra Fadnavis on May 26 inaugurated the second phase — an 80 km stretch — of Nagpur-Mumbai ‘Hindu Hrudayasamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg’, between the temple town of Shirdi and Bharvir near Nashik.

The 701-km long super communication expressway built at a project outlay of ₹55,335 crore reduces the travel time between Nagpur and Mumbai by 10 hours. It runs past 392 villages across 10 districts and the construction is being carried out by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation.

Usually, it takes 17 to 18 hours to cover a distance of 839 km between two major cities of Maharashtra.
