Moving a step towards the implementation of the proposed 136.80 km long Outer Ring Road that would help in decongesting Pune roads by diverting vehicles passing across the city, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) Wednesday began looking for contractors for implementing the project.
The proposed road is being constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 15857 crore and is planned to be completed in 30 months from the actual start of work, which is likely by this year’s end. In addition, the state government has already allocated Rs 11000 crore for the acquisition of land for the Ring Road project. The construction of Ring Road will be done in nine packages.
