The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has begun the construction of a Highway Traffic Management System (HTMS) on the Pune-Mumbai expressway to reduce frequent accidents that cause traffic congestion.
The system’s installation will be completed by the end of September, officials confirmed. In addition, IRB Infra, the company that operates and maintains the route, has presented the concept of putting up special stops for vehicles, which will be implemented on the highway as soon as it is approved by the state government.
According to MSRDC, the state government ordered the adoption of the HTMS system to improve existing road safety measures and infrastructure.
