Exciting news for residents of Pimpri Chinchwad as the Pune Metro extension from Pimpri to Nigdi has officially begun! With a Bhoomi Pujan ceremony marking the start of construction, the project is set to be completed in 130 weeks, providing a much-needed transportation solution for the area.
The contract for constructing the viaduct along the route has been awarded to the Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), a government agency known for its infrastructure projects. This extension comes after years of demand from residents for the metro line to be extended to Nigdi, and finally, their voices have been heard.
The metro route will run along the Old Mumbai Pune Highway, a notorious area for heavy traffic, so the construction of this extension will not only provide convenience for commuters but also help alleviate traffic congestion in the area. With soil testing currently underway, the next steps include laying railway tracks, installing signal systems, ensuring power supply, constructing stations, and other necessary infrastructure.
Once operational, the extended metro line will connect Nigdi to Swargate, making commuting easier and more efficient for residents. According to Hemant Sonawane, Executive Director of Maha Metro, the project is on track to be completed within the specified timeframe, bringing much-needed relief to the residents of Pimpri Chinchwad.
With this exciting development, it’s clear that the future of transportation in Pimpri Chinchwad is looking bright. Stay tuned for more updates on this game-changing project!
