The over 700-km long Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway has become fully operational on Thursday, 5th June with the inauguration of a final stretch of 76 km stretch between Amane in Thane and Igatpuri in Nashik. The inauguration was done by State Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis.

The newly opened stretch promises to reduce the travel time between Thane and Igatpuri from current one and a half hours to just 40 mins.

The project has been constructed at a cost of Rs. 1,182 crore.
