List of expressways in Maharashtra

This is a list of expressways in Maharashtra.

## State expressways

[edit]

State expressways are funded by the Government of Maharashtra and Government of India to connect areas within the state. These expressways reduce travel time, allowing for more efficient travel and fuel savings. This also allows for a more equal distribution of goods, especially to rural areas. These expressways are not part of the national expressway system, but may be operated by the state authority or national authority.

## Bypass expressways

[edit]

Bypass expressways were built to bypass city traffic and congestion. These may include ring roads, bypasses, freeways, and elevated roads that exist entirely within a city or between two cities. These expressways direct heavy traffic to the outskirts freeing city roads of traffic. This also allows outside traffic to directly pass the city instead of going through it further limiting traffic within a city.
