There are 14 bridges on the highway, and work on them and the surrounding service roads is delayed, PWD Minister Ravindra Chavan said. "We aim to complete this work in the next two years," the minister said.

The project, 14 years in the making, has been marred by several factors, from delays in getting clearances to lengthy land acquisition processes.
