PMC clears Rs10.23 cr to shift pipelines on Navale bridge-Katraj chowk stretch
PUNE: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has approved Rs10.23 crore for shifting water and drainage pipelines laid on Navale bridge to Katraj chowk road.
The Public Works Department (PWD) has started the road widening work for the 3.88 km stretch passing through the city.
As it is a national highway passing through PMC limits, MP Supriya Sule approved funds from the central and state governments.
The project includes widening the existing 30m road between Navale bridge and Katraj chowk to 60m. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will also build a 7m wide service road and footpath.
As the shifting of water and drainage lines come under PMC works, PWD writes to the civic administration offering to shift the pipelines if the latter release funds.
