Quick Answer: <\/strong>The Mumbai\u2013Nashik stretch of the Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Samruddhi Mahamarg cuts travel time from 4.5\u20136 hours on the old NH-160 to around 2.5\u20133 hours. The full 701 km Nagpur\u2013Mumbai expressway has been operational end-to-end since 5 June 2025, when the final Igatpuri\u2013Amane leg opened \u2014 a 76 km stretch that includes India’s longest highway tunnel (7.8 km near Kasara Ghat) and three major interchanges at Igatpuri, Kutghar (Shahapur) and Amane (Thane). Toll for a car on the Mumbai\u2013Nashik segment typically works out to \u20b9600\u2013\u20b9800 one way at the \u20b92.45\/km LMV rate, payable via FASTag.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mumbai to Nashik via Samruddhi Mahamarg currently takes around 2.5 to 3 hours, cutting earlier road travel time by nearly half. The access-controlled expressway bypasses congestion-prone stretches, offers signal-free driving, and provides a faster, safer alternative to the older Mumbai\u2013Nashik highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
