According to a report by PTI, the work on the Mumbai-Goa highway has been delayed due to several issues like land acquisition, permissions, and contractor problems.
However, Gadkari has assured that the work will be completed by December.
This news has brought a wave of relief for the people of Konkan, who have been eagerly waiting for the highway to be completed.
Development Boost For Maharashtra’s Konkan Region:

It touches 66 tourism spots in the region and provides quick transportation of fruits and other produce, which the region is famous for.
Gadkari believes that the completion of the highway will give a high boost to the development of the Konkan region, which has been facing several developmental issues for a long time.
Construction of Morbe-Karanjade Road:
Apart from the Mumbai-Goa highway, Gadkari has also announced the construction of the Rs 13,000 crore (Rs 130 billion) Morbe-Karanjade road.
This road will go through the Jawaharlal Nehru port and reduce travel time between Mumbai and Delhi to just 12 hours.
This news has brought a ray of hope for the people of Maharashtra, who have been dealing with the issue of long travel times for ages.
Periodic Updating of Black Spots:
