00:00The Mumbai Nagpur Samruddhi Mahamarga has been opened.
00:03This 701 km stretch can now be covered in just 8 hours.
00:09The last phase of this expressway from Amne to Igatpuri has also recently been opened enhancing Mumbai's connectivity.
00:17However, many travelers often wonder how exactly to get connected to this expressway.
00:23So let's take a look at how you can connect to the Samruddhi Mahamarga.
00:26The most important point is that there is no direct connectivity from Mumbai to this expressway.
00:32People from Mumbai need to travel around 60 km to Bhivandi near Amne.
00:37Travelers from Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Panvel, Thane, Kalyan, Ambarnath, Badlapur, Vasai Virar and nearby cities will need to get onto the Mumbai Nashik Highway first.
00:48Once you reach this point, near Vadpe village, a road has been built to take you directly to the Samruddhi Mahamarga, from where you will get connected to the expressway.
00:59The Mumbai Nagpur Samruddhi Mahamarga has a total of 25 interchanges with the last 3 interchanges located on the Amne to Igatpuri stretch.
01:08Amne serves as the entry point, where the Amne interchange is a Y-type interchange that connects to the Mumbai Delhi Expressway's Vadodara JNPT Highway.
01:18To reach this entry point, you will need to come via the Nashik Agra Highway.
01:23You can also access the Samruddhi Mahamarga from the Shangri-La resort point on the Mumbai Nashik Highway.
01:29The next interchange is at Shahapur, which is also known as the Khutgar interchange and it is a roundabout type interchange.
01:36From here, one side connects towards Shahapur and via Murbad to the Kalyan Nagar Highway, which is NH-61.
01:44Travelers residing near Shahapur and Murbad can connect to the Samruddhi Mahamarga through Khutgar.
01:50On the other side of this interchange, you can connect to the Mumbai Nashik Agra Highway via Shahapur.
01:55From both these highways, you can reach the Samruddhi Mahamarga via Shahapur.
02:00After this, there is the Igatpuri interchange, where travelers from Nashik and nearby areas can use the Igatpuri interchange to directly enter Mumbai and nearby cities.
