Pune: Work On Flyover And Subway Project At Shastri Nagar In Yerwada Likely To Begin Post Elections, Rs 97 Crores Approved
In a significant breakthrough, the Pune Municipal Corporation’s Estimate Committee has approved plans for a new flyover and subway at Yerwada’s Shastrinagar Chowk, aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in the area. The projects, announced by Vadgaon Sheri constituency MLA Sunil Tingre, are part of a broader effort to address the growing traffic problems on Pune’s city roads. The proposed subway will feature six tiers, including a three-lane road for vehicles traveling from Yerwada to Nagar Road Kharadi and another three-lane subway for vehicles heading towards Pune. The estimated cost for this project is ₹37 crores.
A two-tiered flyover is also planned for vehicles coming from Kharadi and Vimannagar, designed to ease the route to the golf club. This flyover is expected to cost ₹26 crores. An additional ₹18 crores will be allocated for other improvements and infrastructure enhancements at the square.
The projects, set to commence soon, come in addition to ongoing efforts to alleviate traffic on Pune-Ahmednagar road. The removal of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system from Yerwada to Viman Nagar has already provided significant relief to motorists.
“The commencement of these projects will be a major step towards solving traffic problems in our area. Our efforts to ensure smoother commutes for Pune’s residents are finally coming to fruition,” announced Sunil Tingre, MLA of Vadgaon Sheri.
With the approval of the projects, Pune residents can look forward to improved traffic flow and reduced congestion in the near future.”
