The project report for the projected Bengaluru-Pune Expressway is being prepared by MoRTH.

MUMBAI: The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is getting ready to open a new Bengaluru-Pune Expressway to help travelers, particularly those in Mumbai, move more easily. The Expressway will be built at a projected cost of Rs 50,000 crore and will pass through 12 districts. According to rumors, the expressway will travel via Kanjale from Bengaluru's Satellite Ring Road to Muthagadahalli on the Pune Ring Road.

The expressway's first survey is currently complete, and by December 2022, the final layout will be sent to NHAI.

Beginning in Pune and continuing through Bengaluru, the expressway would pass through 12 districts, including Satara, Sangli, Belagavi, Bagalkot, Gadag, Koppal, Vijayanagara, Davanagere, Chitradurga, and Tumakuru.

In cooperation with the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Limited (MSRDC) will commission the project. Currently, it takes 14 to 15 hours to travel 842.1 kilometers (KM) from Pune to Bangalore. According to reports, the new road will reduce the distance traveled by commuters traveling great distances at night to 699 kilometers in just 7 hours.

The Bengaluru-Pune highway will be rich with tranquil scenery, making it a visual joy as well. Around ten rivers, including the Yerala, Nira, Chand Nadi, Krishna, Agrani, Ghataprabha, Tungabhadra, Malaprabha, Chikka Hagari, and Vedavath, would be crossed by the highway.
