MoRTH approves ₹6,000-cr road project in Ahmednagar

To ease traffic on the Ahmednagar road in Maharashtra, a 50-km three-deck Wagholi-Shikrapur road structure involving an investment of ₹6,000 crore has been approved by the Union Transport Ministry. The project got a nod from the union minister during a project review meeting of various development projects in the area. He directed the officers concerned to prepare a design. The three-deck track will be undertaken on the Wagholi to Shikrapur stretch. While first will be the ground level, the second level would be for short-distance travel and at eight places where vehicles will be able to enter and exit from the highway. The third level would be for vehicles which will travel long-distances. The minister also instructed the administration to make corrections in the proposed design after hiring experts.
