Pune : PMC Tables Annual Budget Of Rs 11,601 Crore ; Focus On 8 New Flyovers  

In an effort to alleviate the persistent traffic congestion plaguing Pune, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has announced a robust strategy, earmarking funds for the construction of eight new flyovers or grade separators alongside the development of 33 crucial missing link roads.

Municipal Commissioner Vikram Kumar unveiled these plans on Thursday as he presented the city’s budget for the fiscal year 2024-25, amounting to a staggering Rs 11,601 crore, representing a substantial increase of Rs 2,086 crore from the previous year. Despite this significant hike, Kumar assured citizens that there would be no corresponding increase in tax rates, aiming to ease the financial burden on residents.

“This budget reflects our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Pune’s burgeoning population, estimated to reach 70 lakh,” remarked Kumar.

Among the key initiatives outlined in the budget is the expedited completion of the missing link roads project, with 33 roads slated for development within the year, as part of the broader Mission 15 aimed at providing top-notch road infrastructure throughout the city.

Kumar also provided updates on the much-anticipated Phase Two of the Pune Metro project, slated to commence this year, signaling a significant milestone in enhancing public transportation infrastructure. Additionally, the PMC is set to augment the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) fleet with the introduction of new electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, further bolstering the city’s sustainable transit options.

The list of proposed flyovers and grade separators includes strategic locations such as Vishrantwadi, Shastrinagar Chowk, Kharadi bypass, Sasanenagar railway line, Rangehills railway underpass, Thackeray Chowk in Yerawada, Ambedkar Chowk on Alandi road, and Ganeshkhind road, where four flyovers or grade separators are envisioned to alleviate traffic bottlenecks.
