Nagpur: The Maharashtra State’s ambitious ‘Nagpur-Mumbai Super Express Communication Way,’ also called Hindu Hridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Samruddhi Mahamarg, will have a maximum speed limit of 120 kmph. A notification in this regard was issued by State Additional Director General of Police (Traffic) Kulwant Sarangal on Friday, according to a report in Maharashtra Times

The construction of this Expressway, which was conceived by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, is almost complete. As per earlier planning, this highway was to be inaugurated in December 2021.

After this, the MSRDC recommended to the traffic wing of the state police to issue speed limit notification.
