While many are eagerly awaiting the opening of the Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link project, officials from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation told Mid-Day that, if all goes as planned, the route is likely to open to the public by late evening on Friday. However, if there is a delay in dismantling the pandal erected for the inauguration, the Missing Link may instead be opened on the morning of May 2.

An MSRDC official said, “We are making every effort to open the Missing Link project to the public by late evening on May 1. However, if the dismantling of the inauguration pandal is delayed, the opening may be pushed to May 2.”
