The Igatpuri tunnel at night
BhandardaraDrive
Igatpuri tunnel at night on the Samruddhi Mahamarg (Mumbai–Nagpur Expressway) — about 8 km long, Maharashtra's longest road tunnel, on our drive home from Bhandardara and the Sinnar windmills. Lights streaming overhead, lane signals glowing and a near-empty road. Tip: the Igatpuri–Kasara stretch of the Samruddhi Mahamarg has several twin tunnels; keep to the posted speed limit and don't stop inside. Follow @theroamfold for more of the Bhandardara series. Every road, unfolded.
