PUNE To solve the problem of traffic jams at the automobile cluster in Chakan, Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari on Friday proposed a three-deck highway from Nashik Phata to Khed. The total distance of the elevated highway is 30km, and it will have six lanes.
Gadkari said, “The traffic on the Pune-Nashik highway has increased drastically. Even Chakan Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) is located on this road. By considering the traffic situation, I have instructed the officials of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for an elevated highway between Nashik Phata and Khed.”
The world’s top automobile companies have their units in Chakan MIDC. Many industry people and foreign delegates have earlier highlighted traffic issues in the area.
