Pune prepares for six-lane elevated road along Nagar Road

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Maha Metro have begun preparations for construction of a six-lane elevated road and Metro viaduct along Nagar Road in Pune.

Officials from the two agencies have started joint inspections of the corridor ahead of the proposed construction work.

The project is expected to improve traffic flow along Nagar Road, which is one of Pune’s busiest arterial routes, reported The Times of India.

Authorities said the inspections will help identify existing utilities, possible traffic diversion requirements and other logistical aspects before construction begins.

The elevated road and Metro viaduct are expected to be developed together in order to optimise space and improve connectivity along the corridor.

Officials said the project forms part of broader efforts to strengthen urban transport infrastructure and reduce congestion in the eastern parts of the city.
