Pune: Sunil Tingre, Vadgaon Sheri MLA has informed that funds of Rs 62 crores have been sanctioned for the construction of a flyover at Vishrantwadi Chowk.

As per further information shared by Tingre, the problem of traffic jams at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Chowk in the Vishrantwadi area on Alandi Street had become serious. 

To solve this dilemma, Tingre consistently pursued the issue with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to construct a flyover at this place. 

These efforts have been successful and the proposal of Rs 62 crore for the flyover at Vishrantwadi was approved in the estimate committee meeting of the PMC. Soon, the tender process for the work of this bridge will be over and the actual work will start. After the completion of the bridge, people going towards Alandi Road, Dhanori Road, and Airport Road will not face any traffic issues.

The entire length of the flyover would be 630.12 meters & the width would be 7 meters.

Tingre further stated that by constructing the above bridge, the traffic in this area will flow smoothly and safely and the citizens of this area will be provided with good transportation facilities. Also, it will help to solve traffic jams/problems on other roads in this area.
