The Samruddhi Expressway itself remained unaffected by recent rains—but a critical access point did not fare as well. Heavy rainfall (107 mm) around June 25–26 flooded a vehicular underpass and ramp on NH‑548C near the Mehkar interchange. The inundated stretch, part of MSRDC’s supporting infrastructure and not the main elevated carriageway, brought traffic to a standstill for over 90 minutes and confused commuters into thinking the expressway had flooded .

What happened: A badly designed local access ramp/underpass got submerged after monsoon downpour, revealing weak drainage and defect-prone design .Clarification from MSRDC: The main expressway—constructed with viaducts and modern drainage—remained dry and fully functional .Commuter reaction: Frustration over poor connectivity persists—if ramps fail, the “world-class” expressway can’t serve its purpose effectively .Expert view: While the main highway is engineered to withstand monsoons, the surrounding link roads have not met the same standards.
