The 712-km road project, worth Rs 30,000 crore, is expected to be completed by October, 2019 by Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC).
A key feature of the project is that it would be carried out in the land-pooling model with farmers being made partners and some percentage of developed land given back to them. This is the first time that such a system of land-pooling is being tried in the state. The six-lane super-communication highway, connecting the entire breadth of Maharashtra, would have facilities such as CCTV cameras, trauma centres, electronic toll points, two service lanes, utility shifting, bypass etc.
The expressway will connect Nagpur, Amravati, Aurangabad, Ghoti with Mumbai and will be a six-laned. The 20 villages of Hingna Tehsil through which the Expressway will pass include Shivmadka, Gumgaon, Godhni (Rithi), Dhanoli (Hingna), Vadgaon Gujar, Menkhat, Datala, Salai Dabha, Sukdi (Gharpure), Waifal (Rithi), Pimpaldhara, Kinhi, Khapri (Gandhi), Borgaon (Rithi), Khairi (Khurd), Ghodeghat, Savangi, Bhansoli (Lodhi), Haladgaon, and Vadgaon Bakshi.
