The inner ring road will be Pune district’s second ring road, following the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Limited’s (MSRDC) outer ring road. It will cover 44 villages across Khed, Haveli, Mulshi, and Maval talukas, requiring a total of 743.41 hectares of land.
Key infrastructure components of the project include:
- 42 connecting roads
- 17 bridges
- 10 tunnels
- A dedicated 5-meter-wide metro rail corridor
Phase 1 Focus: Reducing Ahmednagar Road Traffic
The first phase of the project, extending from Solu to Wadgaon Shinde, aims to ease congestion on Ahmednagar Road. The entire ring road will facilitate connectivity between Pune-Satara Road and Ahmednagar Road.
The inner ring road project is expected to significantly improve traffic movement and urban connectivity in the Pune Metropolitan Region.
