Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg will be a complete Greenfield expressway, built across 8,600 hectares of land at an estimated cost of ₹ 55,000 crores. It is designed to be the fastest road in the country by permitting a speed limit of up to 150kmph on the plain region, while 120kmph on inclined sections covering mountain territories of the Western Ghats.

The construction of the project is divided into 16 packages and is allocated to 13 major contractors such as Afcon’s Infrastructure, Larsen & Toubro, and Reliance Infrastructure. The expressway is being constructed with EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) project model. For construction, native material, fly ash and fly ash will be utilized. Keeping sustainability in mind, rainwater will be harvested for water availability. During designing the expressway, a single-layer concrete paver has been deployed for the complete 15m width of the concrete slabs. The project will aim to formulate instantaneous logistics infrastructure. It also has a utility corridor dispensing optical fiber connectivity, gas pipelines, and electricity lines constructed parallel to the expressway. The expressway will acquire international road design with safety standards encompassing an intelligent highway management system for traffic supervision.
