Hey there, folks! If you’ve been keeping up with the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) Shivajinagar bus station project, you’ll know that it’s been facing some major delays. But guess what? It’s finally moving forward!
The state government has stepped in and instructed Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) to get the project completed within the next three years. This means we can expect some progress soon.
Now, let’s talk about the background of this project. The Pune Metro project needed some land owned by MSRTC for an underground metro station at Shivajinagar. This led to the relocation of the bus depot to Wakdewadi, about 1.5 kilometers away, under the Dairy Development Department.
The original land lease to Maha-Metro expired in March 2022, but the property wasn’t returned as planned. So, the lease has been extended to 2027 to give Maha-Metro the time they need to finish the project and return the land to the rightful department.
What can we expect from the upcoming developments? Well, there’s going to be a modern bus station, a bus depot, parking facilities, and even staff quarters for MSRTC employees. Sounds like a major upgrade for travelers and staff alike!
Since the temporary bus depot has been causing some traffic issues at Wakdewadi, the completion of the bus station project and the relocation back to Shivajinagar should ease up some of those traffic woes. Commuters will definitely appreciate that.
In conclusion, it looks like the MSRTC Shivajinagar bus station project is finally on track to be completed in the next three years. With better facilities for everyone involved and the traffic situation at Wakdewadi improving, it’s definitely a step in the right direction for Pune’s public transportation infrastructure. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
