Hey there, Maharashtra residents! Big news coming your way – the state government has given the green light to a major infrastructure project that will boost connectivity between Pune and Shirur.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. The project involves building a 53-kilometer elevated, six-lane road that will connect with the Balasaheb Thackeray Samruddhi Expressway. This road will run through Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, starting from the Pune Bypass Road near Kesnand and Lonikand.
2. The Maharashtra State Infrastructure Development Corporation (MSIDC) will be managing this project, which aims to reduce traffic congestion and decrease travel time between Pune and Shirur.
3. The entire Samruddhi Expressway will span around 250 kilometers and will have key entry and exit points for cities like Shirur, Ahmednagar, Nevasa, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
4. The cost of the Pune-Shirur stretch is estimated to be ₹7,515 crore, with an additional ₹2,050 crore needed for improvements along the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar route. This brings the total estimated cost to ₹9,565 crore.
5. The project is expected to kick off within the next two years, with the Public Works Department (PWD) and MSIDC overseeing the execution. If there are any delays, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) may step in to ensure the project stays on track.
6. The elevated road will not only enhance regional connectivity but also make commuting between Pune and Shirur much smoother.
So, get ready for improved travel efficiency and enhanced economic integration between key cities in Maharashtra. It’s time to say goodbye to traffic jams and long travel times!
