Pune-Nashik Highway: 7,808 Cr Project Stalled 4 Years, Traffic Nightmare Continues

• Severe traffic congestion plagues the 28 km stretch of Pune-Nashik Highway from Nashik Phata to Rajgurunagar daily.
• A 7,808 crore rupee project for widening, service roads, and elevated roads remains on paper despite constructions being removed 4 years ago.
• Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation cleared obstructions, but actual work has not commenced, worsening daily commutes.
• With the Kumbh Mela in Nashik next year, traffic is expected to surge, making immediate development of service roads crucial.
• While 93% land acquisition in Rajgurunagar is complete, the highway's full completion timeline remains uncertain.
