& Aurangabad in Maharashtra

of Mumbai
via the same link-route and in less than the distance covered by the NH 6. The new road theoretically saves 65 km distance between the two cities and the travel time of nearly one-and-half hours. Though said so, ironically, if developed with 4 lane basis, as declared earlier by the State Public Works Dept., this highway can save more than 8 hrs of time between Nagpur and Mumbai, as compared to NH 6.
Though approved on 23 Dec, 1999 , its major development started in late 2002 and it is now completed almost 90%, by the end of 2008. The Aurangabad - Mumbai sector is already started with full flow of traffic, while the Nagpur - Aurangabad sector is still under construction and expected to be completed soon (by the end of 2009). It is expected to share the major direct road traffic between these cities, including almost 30%-40% of traffic from NH 6.
The Highway is 80% completed throughout and the remaining work is supposed to be done by the end of 2009. Maharashtra govt is trying to operate this highway through a private party for over 30 years to recover the cost of this highway .
