Since the opening of the 13.3-km-long Missing Link project on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway on May 1, motorists have been stopping to take selfies, prompting action from the Highway Safety Patrol (HSP). From May 1 to May 11, police fined 308 motorists for traffic violations, recovering fines exceeding ₹1 lakh (roughly $1,200 USD). To address safety concerns, authorities have installed barricades on the shoulder lane of the valley bridge to prevent halting vehicles. The Missing Link project, built by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), has reduced travel distance by nearly six kilometers and journey time by 30 minutes, alleviating congestion on the expressway. Commuters have reported smoother travel, but officials stress the importance of adhering to traffic regulations to ensure safety on this high-speed corridor.
