At Pune, the expressway will also connect to the Pune-Mumbai Expressway.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has announced that the upcoming Mumbai-Pune-Bengaluru expressway will play a crucial role in reducing traffic congestion in Pimpri Chinchwad.
The expressway, part of a larger ring road network, is estimated to cost Rs 55,000 crore. “The Mumbai-Bengaluru expressway, passing through the ring road, will significantly alleviate persistent traffic jams in Pimpri Chinchwad,” Gadkari said.
These include the Rs 8,000 crore Nashik Phata to Khed route, aimed at enhancing regional transport, and the Rs 7,000 crore Talegaon-Chakan elevated road, designed to streamline traffic in a key industrial zone. Additionally, significant upgrades to the Solapur-Yavat and Narhe-Ravet roads within the city promise smoother and more efficient travel for commuters.
Gadkari reiterated his dedication to seeing these projects through to completion. “I don’t just announce projects; I ensure their timely execution,” he said, emphasising his track record of delivering on infrastructure promises.
