The Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) Katraj-Kondhwa four-kilometre road widening project is not going to complete within the deadline due to lack of land acquisition.
The contractor has been able to complete only 25 per cent of work in the last two and half years. Now, the estimate of the cost of the project is going to increase due to the delay.
Katraj –Kondwa road is one of the major parts that link Satara road to Solapur road. The heavy traffic is going out of the city through this route from Westerly bypass to Solapur road. However, the road is too narrow (15 meter to 20 meter in width) and it is always facing traffic chaos on the stretch of around four kilometres from Kondwa to Katraj junction through a Khadi Machine chowk.
