What we could not find
8 gapsA gap is not a fact. It means we looked and found no source.
- No official page was read for the two-wheeler rule on the Mumbai to Pune Expressway; the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation site failed with an expired certificate.
- Whether two-wheelers may use the short ghat stretch near Khandala where the old highway joins the expressway, and how the May 2026 bypass changed this, was not sourced.
- The text of the 2026 Pune district order for Lonavala was not found; a travel company gives its dates as 6 to 31 July 2026.
- No source found for a monsoon closure order at Mahabaleshwar. No official page was found for the entry and pollution tax, or for whether two-wheelers pay it, so amounts are left out.
- No source found for the altitude of Tamhini Ghat or Malshej Ghat, or for fog on the ghats.
- Usual number of riding days: no source found.
- The highway value combines Wikipedia pages for National Highway 48 and 61; only one is cited.
- Videos: the pages give upload dates, not filming dates, so 'filmed' is filled only where the title names a date. Uploads, in order: 2025-11, 2021-07.
