The condition of pune satara highway, specifically the stretch of highway extending before and after khed shivapur toll plaza is laughable. A rural kaccha road would be better managed that it's current condition. The contractor, reliance infra still does keep on charging toll charges even though there's no apparent improvement on this stretch. The traffic jam on both sides of the toll plaza just highlights the poor management and planning on the part of the contractor. Certain patches of the highway too are not at all well-maintained with no markings, no medians, no safety railings inspite of the toll collection.
