Bhakti Shakti Chowk to Nashik Highway Missing Link Work Underway

The development of the 550-metre-long road connecting Bhakti Shakti Chowk to the Nashik Highway through Triveni Nagar is making steady progress, with 50% of the work completed.

This crucial project aims to improve connectivity between the Pune-Nashik Highway, Old Mumbai-Pune Highway and Nigdi Bhakti Shakti Junction, easing traffic congestion across the city. However, pending land acquisition for a key open land section measuring 250 x 75 metres remains a challenge.

The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is spearheading the project. The project, initially designed as a 75-metre-wide road, is currently being developed as a 37-metre-wide section. This includes two 12-metre-wide traffic lanes, a 9-metre-wide High-Capacity Mass Transit Route (HCMTR) in the centre, and 2-metre-wide paved shoulders on both sides.
