The Pune Ring Road project, costing Rs 42,711 crore and stretching 172 km, has officially moved from planning to construction phase.
According to tweet of MLA Mahesh Landge, construction has already started in nine key areas: Khadakwasla, Mulshi, Chakan, Hinjewadi, Wadebolhai, Sinhagad, Urse, and Sortapwadi. Early work includes soil filling, bridge building, and leveling the ground.
So far, nearly 1,740 hectares of land have been acquired. Land acquisition is 99% complete in the western part and 98% in the eastern part, removing major hurdles for construction. Work has been given to nine construction companies, and each has been given a deadline of 30 months. If they delay the work, they will have to pay penalties.
The massive project aims to reduce traffic inside the city and boost development around the outskirts.
