PMC mulling triple-decker flyover at Sinhagad road

PUNE: The design of the proposed flyover between Rajaram bridge and Funtime cinema on Sinhagad road is likely to be altered in favour of a three-deck structure in keeping with Union minister of road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari’s suggestion.

During the foundation stone-laying ceremony on Friday, Gadkari had instructed the PMC to consider changing the flyover’s design to at least a double-deck. “The PMC is investing a lot of funds in this flyover. If the municipal corporation adopts the new technique we have introduced in NHAI, there will be a three-layer flyover in the same cost. The first two layers can be used for private vehicles whereas the third layer will be for the elevated metro.
