MoRTH plans three-deck highway in Pune

To resolve the emerging traffic scenario at the automobile cluster in Chakan, Union transport ministry has proposed a 30-km long elevated six-lane and three-deck highway from Nashik Phata to Khed in the Pune metropolitan region. NHAI will prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the project.

The world’s top automobile companies have their units in Chakan MIDC, and many industrialists and foreign delegates have earlier highlighted traffic issues in the area. The previous tender process was scrapped to make way for the proposed three-deck highway, and there will be provision for Metro on the third level and once the DPR is ready, NHAI will float tenders to award the project.
