Pune to Build 50-KM Road Alongside Metro Line at ₹628 Crore
The Pune government plans to spend a lot of money to build a new road that runs next to a new train line.
This new road will be about 50 kilometers long and will have six lanes for cars.
The road will also have space for bikes, buses, and places to walk.
The goal is to make it easier for people to get to the train stations and to help with traffic.
Some people think this is a good idea, but others worry it might make traffic worse by encouraging more cars.
The project will need to buy land, but it should move forward once the plans are finalized.
PMRDA is investing ₹628 crore in a 50-kilometer road project.
The road will run parallel to the Hinjawadi–Shivajinagar Metro Line 3.
The existing road will be upgraded to a six-lane concrete carriageway.
The project aims to improve last-mile connectivity and act as a feeder to the metro.
Civic activists and commuters have expressed concerns about the project.
