The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has decided to construct elevated roads on highways passing through cities by spending around ₹30,000 crore.
The elevated routes will be Nashik Phata to Khed, Talegaon to Chakan, Hadapsar to Dive Ghat and Wagholi to Shirur. Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari made the announcement in Pune on Saturday.
The stretches see regular traffic jams causing inconvenience to commuters who have been asking authorities to address the issue. Elevated routes will help decongest traffic on the routes.
