PMC to build new road in Mundhwa-Magarpatta area
The Pune Municipal Corporation is building a new road that is 1,150 meters long and 24 meters wide.
This road will go from the Keshavnagar bridge to Mundhwa.
The project costs Rs 93 crore and is being done with help from private companies.
The new road will help reduce traffic congestion at busy spots like Mahatma Phule Chowk and Shivaji Chowk.
It will also make it easier for people to travel to places like Magarpatta, Amanora township, and Hadapsar.
The idea for this road came from Hadapsar MLA Chetan Tupe, who wanted to improve traffic in the area.
The road will be part of the city's development plan and will create new routes for people traveling to different parts of Pune.
The PMC is building a 1,150-meter-long and 24-meter-wide road from Keshavnagar bridge to Mundhwa.
