If you’ve been stuck in traffic in Pune, Maharashtra, you’ll be glad to hear that Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, is taking steps to alleviate congestion. Recently, he laid the foundation stone for two major National Highway projects in the region.
The first project involves upgrading a 13 km stretch of NH-965 from Dive Ghat to Hadapsar on the Mohol-Alandi section. The second project includes the construction of bridges on the Mula-Mutha River, along with service roads from Sinhagad Road to Warje on the Pune-Satara section of NH-48.
During the inauguration, Gadkari emphasized the importance of these projects in improving connectivity among Pune, Satara, and Solapur. He specifically mentioned the impact on the Palkhi Yatra procession, stating that the upgrades will make the journey safer and more pleasant for devotees.
Some key benefits of these projects include support for the approximately 9-10 lakh Warkaris participating in the Palkhi Yatra, traffic alleviation, and an economic boost for local economies. Additionally, Gadkari announced upcoming initiatives such as the Elevated Corridor in Nashik Phata Khed and the Ravet to Narhe Elevated Corridor, both aimed at further improving connectivity in the region.
With the support of government officials like Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis and Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol, these National Highway projects are set to significantly enhance road connectivity and infrastructure development in Maharashtra.
