The motorists going towards Navi Mumbai and Pune will have to spend more money as the Public Works Department (PWD) has given clearance to the opening of Kharghar Toll plaza on Sion-Panvel highway from Tuesday. It should be noted that before the assembly elections BJP had said that the government will make efforts to have toll free roads.

On Monday, the PWD decided that from midnight the toll collection will start and a notification regarding the same was also issued. This also means that motorists going towards Navi Mumbai and Kharghar will have to pay toll at Vashi and Kharghar and both the toll plazas are within a distance of 15 kms.
