Pune industrial belt to get 53.2 km elevated highway

A 53.2 km elevated highway has been approved for the Talegaon–Chakan–Shikrapur corridor in the Pune region.

Plans include a four-lane elevated road along with a four-lane road at ground level, aimed at improving traffic flow along the stretch.

Around 56 hectares of land will be required for the project, which is expected to be completed in about four years, with a target timeline around 2030, reported The Times of India.

Passing through the Chakan industrial belt, the corridor serves a key manufacturing hub with significant daily traffic movement.

Efforts are focused on easing congestion and improving connectivity across this section.

The project forms part of ongoing work to strengthen transport infrastructure in the region.
