PUNE The proposed ring around Pune will have 14 multilevel interchanges and eight major bridges to facilitate smooth traffic. The 173.7 km circular stretch will have 18 viaducts, 17 tunnels, and four roadways over bridges, officials from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) said on Tuesday.
The project will be developed in two phases – east and west – at a cost of Rs. 26,831 crore. It will service 29 villages by connecting highways around the city, and will also regulate pollution levels in the city by diverting heavy vehicular traffic from entering the city to reduce the existing traffic congestion.
