Nagpur : In 2016, when Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced building a 701 km super highway between Nagpur and Mumbai that will cut travel time to six hours from the existing 14 hours, nobody believed that the work will ever kick off given the stiff opposition it faced with funds and land acquisition.
At present, almost 98 percent land acquisition has been completed and funds of Rs 28,000 crore are also in sight. Construction work for the road, popularly called as Samruddhi Corridor, is all set to begin.
Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) Radheshyam Mopalwar spoke to India Today TV and said that the first vehicle on this road will run by December 2020.
