Express Highway, based on the govt approval and the formal announcement by state govt authorities, this highway is a project connecting two major cities [[Satara (city)|Satara]] & [[Latur]] in [[Maharashtra]] to the [[National Highway 52 (India)|NH 52]] via the same link-route and in less time than the [[SH 77]]. Though said so, if developed with 2 lane basis, as declared earlier by the State Public Works Dept., this highway can save more than 1.5 hrs of time between Latur and Mumbai. | Express Highway, based on the govt approval and the formal announcement by state govt authorities, this highway is a project connecting two major cities [[Satara (city)|Satara]] & [[Latur]] in [[Maharashtra]] to the [[National Highway 52 (India)|NH 52]] via the same link-route and in less time than the [[SH 77]].
