Recently, on May 26, as the Shirdi-Bharvir stretch near Nashik of the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi highway was to be opened for vehicles, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) authority installed Impact Attenuator technology (crash cushion) to prevent road accidents.
The technology has been on the entire stretch of the Samruddhi Highway, in order to reduce the impact of the accident and preventing serious injuries to the motorists.
