Pune: Centre sanctions over Rs 160 crore for six-lane flyover at Katraj Chowk
The central government has sanctioned Rs 169.15 crore for a six lane flyover at Katraj Chowk, which is expected to resolve the traffic woes on the stretch. Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari recently sanctioned the construction work of the flyover for which the tender process was done a few months ago.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) had proposed the flyover and the central government then decided to take up the work as it was on a junction of a National Highway. The junction connects Pune city to the Mumbai-Banglore bypass and the Pune-Solapur highway.
