Taking serious note of the rising number of fatal accidents on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) recently finished installation of Brifen wire rope safety fence on a 2.5 km-long stretch. If the experiment proves successful, then the safety fence would be installed at other locations as well. The fence was installed between the 73 km and 77 km stretch. While the installation work commenced last month, it concluded last week.

The Brifen wire rope safety fence has been installed by the MSRDC on an experimental basis. The fences would be set up along the entire expressway if they help curb accidents
