The newly opened connecting link on the Yashwantrao Chavan Mumbai-Pune Expressway is under continuous surveillance, with authorities cautioning motorists against stopping their vehicles for selfies or photographs. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) said such behaviour poses a significant safety risk and violates expressway regulations.

According to MSRDC, instances have been reported of motorists halting near key stretches of the connecting link, particularly around the cable-stayed bridge and tunnel sections, to click photos. Officials stressed that stopping on the expressway is strictly prohibited and increases the likelihood of accidents on a high-speed corridor.
