Major elevated road project announced for Pune region

Pune is set to get a major transport infrastructure upgrade with plans for a 31 km flyover corridor designed to improve connectivity across the region.

The flyover project forms part of a broader national highway infrastructure plan worth Rs 45,000 crore aimed at strengthening road connectivity in and around Pune.

Officials said the proposed elevated corridor will significantly reduce travel time for commuters travelling through the region.

The project is expected to reduce travel time from around 90 minutes to about 45 minutes on key routes in and around the city.

Authorities said the flyover corridor will support movement between major urban and industrial areas surrounding Pune.

The project is expected to improve connectivity for both commuters and freight traffic while easing pressure on existing roads.

Officials said the initiative will form part of broader efforts to strengthen road infrastructure in the region.
