Pune-Nashik Highway: ₹261 Crore Missing Links to End Chakan Traffic Woes

• PMRDA to develop four crucial 'missing links' worth ₹261 crore to alleviate traffic congestion at Chakan on the Pune-Nashik Highway.
• These alternative roads will significantly reduce congestion at Talegaon Chowk, Ambethan, and Alandi Phata intersections in Chakan.
• Key links include Hingane Chowk to Volkswagen Company (Kharabwadi), Nanekarwadi to Samruddhi CNG Pump, Medankarwadi to Rase Phata, and a Western Bypass connecting Chakan MIDC Phase 5 to the Old Mumbai-Pune Highway.
• Commuters, especially Chakan MIDC workers, will save time and fuel, and accident rates are expected to decrease by separating heavy and local traffic.
• PMRDA aims to complete the work within one year after land acquisition, with efforts underway to remove unauthorized constructions on the routes.
