en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Pune Municipal Corporation in India has decided to appoint experts to plan a 9km long, 60m wide link road, extending from the Kadki Machine Chowk to the Wadki Chowk, as an extension of the Katraj-Kondhwa Road. This link road will connect the Mumbai-Satara National Highway with the Pune-Solapur National Highway, diverting heavy vehicle traffic around the city area and improving travel efficiency between the two major arteries.

The project has been prioritized by the Pune Municipal Corporation as part of a larger road development plan. This plan has identified 19 roads for development, with a total cost of 98.2 billion rupees, specifically aimed at alleviating traffic congestion. The municipal administration has allocated 340 million rupees for conducting surveys, preparing detailed land acquisition proposals, and site planning for the 9km link road.

The municipal department is also simultaneously pushing forward the construction of the Katraj-Kondhwa Road. This 3.5km stretch, which was stalled for years due to land acquisition delays, is now being developed to a width of 60 meters. The original design allowed for a width of 94 meters, but the Pune Municipal Corporation decided to limit the work to 60 meters in the current phase, with further widening to be implemented once sufficient funds are available. The Katraj-Kondhwa Road route extends from Katraj Chowk to Kadki Machine Chowk, connecting the Pune-Baramati and Pune-Solapur highways. Passing through the Kondhwa area, it has been facing severe traffic congestion and frequent accidents as urbanization accelerates.

The Pune Municipal Corporation stated that the link road from Kadki Machine to Wadki Chowk is part of a broader plan extending from Narhe to Wadki, which will allow heavy vehicles traveling between Solapur, Mumbai, and Satara to bypass the city. The Pune Municipal Corporation has requested the Public Works Department of Maharashtra State, India, to hand over the road section and provide the necessary funds for its development and construction.
