Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Sunday said an access-controlled expressway will be constructed between Aurangabad and Pune at a cost of Rs 10,000 crore to reduce the travel time between the two cities.
“The distance between Aurangabad and Pune is around 225 km. We will build an access-controlled expressway between these two cities where there will be no turns and the vehicles cruise at a speed of up to 140 km per hour,” he said.
“This will reduce the travel time between the two cities to 1.15 hours (as against four to five hours currently). This new alignment will go from Paithan and Ahmednagar regions,” Nitin Gadkari added.
